what was my first make of car?

My daughter is on abilify and recently they raised the mgs.  However, I find that it is making her worst. Her behavior at home and at school is worst than when she was on a lower dose.  She was diagnosed with PDD (NOS) and while it took many psychologists, 3 psychiatrists and many different exams to confirm this, I have some doubts.  When she behaves, she truly looks and acts very normal, but following a directive no matter who gives it to her is very hard for her to accept.  She does not like to be told what to do unless it's something she wants to do.  She can't focus, it's hard for her to do homework and we are at our wits.  What other medicines or treatment is out there for a 7 year-old that has been on every kind of medicine that is out there.  She's also had services at home, has been at a children's hospital for observation (as an out patient) for 3 weeks, but nothing ever came out of this.  As parents, we are doing everything humanly possible to help her, we love her dearly and don't want anything to happen to her.  Her bio father died as a result of not getting the programs and services he so deserved and we don't want our daughter to go in the same direction....what options are available for us...or what other medicines will help?  Thanks....

Sounds like you have been to get her help a lot, As she has so much Professional help could you try to kind of let it all go quiet for a while, if she hears so many things about her problems ,and if it is all problems its possible thats all she knows and how to behave,When you want her to do something is there a better way than demanding or telling her to do it can you ask quietly ,or say beforehand it'll soon be time to put our games away etc Can you relax the Rules and kind of ignore them if she anwers back does it matter so much. Do you guys play games with her does to do sports ,is she interested in Hobbys you can get her more motivated in, maybe shes plain bored.A lot of kids find Homework a chore, they come from scholl and Whammo its more school ,how about a Game first or a nice Chat. Ask her Why does shenot like to do as you ask at her age she will answer.  Good luck
