I have no advice, but just wanted to offer hugs. So much of this sounds like what we are going through with DD1. It's hard.

I have no advice, but just wanted to offer hugs. So much of this sounds like what we are going through with DD1. It's hard.
She has an IEP for speech. We didn't have the ADHD diagnosis until October 2016.
DH was reluctant to add the ADHD to her IEP initially. His SIL is a special-ed teacher (not in our district) and recommended that we add it to her IEP for DD's protection. (Which is what I was saying to DH.) And he changed his tune. A little. But only recently okayed pursuing counseling.
She's only been on medication for a year and her in-school outbursts have typically coincided with days when there's a substitute teacher in her homeroom.
It could easily be the meds, or it could be something else. I've got an appointment set up with one of the therapists from our pediatrician's list (she's covered by our insurance) for Tuesday. I'll be bringing DD's diagnosis paperwork as well.
I met today with the therapist and we have DD scheduled to go in next week.
We'll see what happens next; hopefully, it's another baby step in the right direction!
2nd Update (June 2018):
We've seen the therapist 3 times.
In between the 2nd and 3rd appointments, DD had a Really Bad Day where she threw fits (substitute teacher), ran away from teachers (who she doesn't normally see), and fought with classmates.
The therapist wants to see if we can note any pattern to these kinds of outbursts because DD is showing what could be anxiety-expressed-as-OCD symptoms in her (the therapist's) opinion.
So, does anyone have any recommendations for note-taking apps that could be linked to my calendar? (I have an iPhone 6S.)
