Has you been offered a neuropsychology evaluation? It won't identify a physical syndrome per se, but it can identify brain-based behavior abnormalities (what areas of the brain may be contributing to behavior) and give a diagnosis to the behavior and from there, guide treatments. (Having a diagnosis also facilitates additional funding for kids with special needs)

If you go this route - make sure you find a pediatric neuropsychologist - some work mostly with adults.

Good luck - you're obviously thorough parents with your daughter's best interests in mind!

I have already done that but thank you for your answer Report It

With all due sympathy, has the Pervasive Developmental Disorder or Autism scale assessments and specialists been consulted?

sounds just like a child i know have her tested for the gen tic disorder called predator willie, she has all the symptoms of it, look it up online i think you will agree.

聽Have you tried a Chiropractor for help? Kids can have undetected nerve compression do to a tough delivery and can cause many health problems. Try having her spine examined by a good chiropractor that believes in the power of our central nervous system. Your brain controls every part of your body threw nerve transmissions and if nerves are compressed you body will start to malfunction due to the lack of nerve impulses. Your central nervous system as well as the American diet has a lot to do with the conditions that people suffer from. Most doctors don't even understand our central nervous system therefore they don't know how to properly address conditions with out medications when nerve compression could be the root cause. I know the power of it because I was set free from chronic nerve pain and many other health problems after my spine was treated from a good Chiropractor without medications.
