[quote=Anonymous][quote]She isn't really delayed in anything, but there's a sense that she's "different" because she's so unusual in how she imagines things and plays. It is more a matter of figuring out the cause of sudden, intense negative behaviors. And if there isn't a cause, training her to manage them appropriately. While at the same time, we want to preserve the positive parts of how creative she is. [/quote]

First of all, you've done a great job in looking for assistance for your DD.  That's really commendable - and exhausting and expensive!

From your post, other than the negative behaviors, I'm not seeing a lot in your postings that would indicate you should continue to pursue anything more at this time.  I think it was premature of the KKI NP to rule out ADHD.  It would be difficult to diagnose it at this age if she has the inattentive component but negative behaviors often have an emotional regulation issue to them.  Whether that would be ADHD or not remains to be seen because as a PP noted, there' a lot of symptom overlap with disorders.  Or, it could just be your DD has issues with emotional regulation.  She wouldn't be the first.  And, managing her negative behaviors shouldn't impact her creativity[/quote]
