we have also tried time outs

Who diagnosed her with ADHD?
Who diagnosed her with ADHD? There could be a few things with this scenario. She could be on the wrong dose of medicine, she doesn't have ADHD and they are wrongly medicating her, or she is having side affects from the medicine that are making her act out more. If the medicine doesn't work for ADHD, it probably isn't ADHD. I would first check the dose and medicine, I would also get her into therapy. Therapy is good for kids with ADHD as well. SS10 has ADHD, he was on Concerta first and had really bad side affects. He is now on Adderall and we have had to play with the doses to get it right.
when she first got on
when she first got on adderall 10mg it started working her bm said shes not changing it that we have to deal with it her bm doesnt know how she acts cause she always pawns her off its court ordered that the bm is responsable for taking the child to the dr i just dont know what to do i really dont want my son anywhere near her oh and some dr the bm works with diagnosed her
It may be court ordered that
It may be court ordered that BM is responsible for taking SD to the doctors but I don't think that means that DH CANT take her. Does anyone think that maybe SD is acting out because she isn't getting enough attention from BM? I think your DH needs to take her to a psychiatrist and SD may need to get some therapy on top of medication. If worst comes to worst, DH should take SD to the doctor that BM takes her to to tell them that the medication isn't working.
