I know for my daughter if she doesn't get enough sleep it really, really effects her behavior. Both of my girls (4&7)get 11 hours of sleep and some days it's still not enough. Maybe the sleep deprivation is just exacerbating the problem and the diagnosis isn't as bad as they are guessing. Don't let the professionals push you around if you don't like their answers. You are your child's advocate. I always go with my Mommy's instinct. And research things on my own. Someone mentioned diet as affecting behavior, I believe it does. Maybe you can have her tested for allergies? I know, it must be overwhelming, I'm just throwing it out there. I've seen my friends kids adhd and behavior improve after altering their diets. (For us, I limit sugar as it makes my 7 yr old become a different person!) This journey in parenthood is so tough. I'm wishing you the best. Please keep us updated. {{Hugs}}Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139820193128606564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749295099227453332.post-56769757116967961452010-03-01T16:47:10.129-05:002010-03-01T16:47:10.129-05:00Hugs Heather!!

One of my friends son is adhd, and has aspergers, and she has done a diet modification and has seen really wonderful results. It isn't a cure all, but it does help. Maybe at school she has a schedule, and at Sunday School, maybe it is different every week. I know with children with Aspergers and Autism, a change of schedule really throws them for a loop.<br />I hope you can find answers that help with a solution. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.<br />ps<br />my son did a sleep study, because he snored at night (huge tonsils and adenoids). You will find out a lot about your daughters sleep, and if she is getting enough rem and deep sleep at night if she does one. You or your husband will stay with her, so its not like you just drop her off lol. <br />stay positive!!Latishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173138059299301140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749295099227453332.post-18178134962891919702010-03-01T09:13:12.188-05:002010-03-01T09:13:12.188-05:00You make such beautiful cards.

And it was very difficult to get her the special services she needed - she wasn't diagnosed until she was in 8th grade. She also has bipolar 2. Don't let them drop her from special services - they are really important for them as they get older. My daughter is now in college - a sophomore and in a special program for "disabilities". She qualified for this because she was in a program through high school and also has paperwork from psychologists, etc. <br />Hugs, HarrietHarriet Skellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421870735598961974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749295099227453332.post-20253319142733334232010-02-24T19:15:17.750-05:002010-02-24T19:15:17.750-05:00another inspiring card.

Beautiful card. I feel for you with you...Heather,<br /><br />Beautiful card. I feel for you with your quest for what's best for your daughter. From my experiences as a teacher, I would agree with Aimes in that you are her best (and most powerful) advocate. If you do your homework (which you are) you should be able to get what your daughter needs. Frankly, it seems that school systems are skittish so will sometimes bow to parental pressure. As long as you continue to advocate for her and to pursue the root of her issues, you should be able to make a case for continued services. And congrats to her for meeting almost all of her IEP goals--that is to be celebrated! Take care; it's a long, arduous process. But your daughter is the winner! --ElenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749295099227453332.post-88039286035789116382010-02-24T17:07:38.682-05:002010-02-24T17:07:38.682-05:00Your card is beautiful!

Taking her to see professionals is the best way to build up a case to suggest she needs continued support. I really hope you get a diagnosis soon and don't fear, I work with many kids with ADHD, Autism, Aspergers etc who get along fine without medications. I'm not an ed psych but the effect of settings on behaviour seems to point more towards the aspergers rather than bi-polar!
