[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD used to do well at school but have massive meltdowns when she got home. Turns out she has ADHD and was working so hard to keep it together at school that she was just destroyed by the time she got home. Once we started treating the ADHD the meltdowns stopped and she was much happier. [b]Ignore the posters who have no idea what they are talking about.[/b][/quote] Because we don't buy into the there-must-be-a-disorder hype, we don't know what we're talking about? Don't assume. You have no idea. And not all of us wish to create victims. [/quote] Why don't you go back and read the posts? one poster wants OP to hit her child. Others say her child is a spoiled brat. Yes, i stand by saying that these posters don't know what they are talking about. Whether or not there is a diagnosis OP needs professional help for her child. I KNOW you would do the same for yours, at least I hope you would. I posted about my DD who was VERY similar because I thought it would help. My DD suffered for a long time because we didn't get her evaluated. She's a teen now and has told us how she feels she lost years of her childhood because we delayed getting her ADHD addressed. I know how dramatic the before and after was so if this is even a possibility -- and none of us know -- OP should have it checked out. Why does this threaten you? Why does the idea that OP just have her child evaluated because of a possibility of an addressable issue threaten you? And for those of you with conspiracy theories about clinicians trolling for clients, the average wait in this area to see a developmental pediatrician is at least 8 months. OUrs has closed his practice so you can't see him at all. None of these folks are trolling for business.[/quote]
