[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point I’m calling troll because you don’t actually seem to want advice. Multiple people have provided multiple ideas and you just come up with excuses why it will never work.[/quote]

I’m not a troll, I’m a parent at my wits end. Thank you to the poster who shared the PDA info, she was not evaluated for that or autism but the description fits her to a t. [/quote]

How and where did you get an ADHD diagnosis for a 6 yr old girl and that autism wasn't part of that evaluation?[/quote]

Just the ADD panel was done. [/quote]

Who did you see for the ADD panel? What type of professional?[/quote]

Autism
Pathological Demand Avoidance 
Tourette’s 
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria
Oppositional Defiance Disorder 
Sensory issues

This seems bigger / different than just ADHD. Meds may take the edge off and help the behavioral supports work or give her enough control to benefit from them. Until and ideally after meds start - Iron supplements. Melatonin for sleep. Frequent, strenuous exercise. Screw the lovingly packed lunches you are “staying up for”. Deal with nutrition once you get the other stuff under control. Give her protein bars cut into bite size pieces if needed. Supplement with vitamins. Get to the root cause and triggers. She probably feels as out of control as you do. [/quote]

Agree with this.  An appointment with a psychiatrist may take a long time, so go ahead and read up about all of these and see if any of them seem to fit.  Then work from there.[/quote]
