[QUOTE="whoknows, post: 73304, member: 4046"] Thanks for the replies, the more I hear the more I can relate and that's some comfort. I've got a few books ordered so I can research some more. I have another question. What is meant by anxiety? Apart from the defiant, destructive behaviour that can last 8-10 hours, my son constantly follows me. If I go upstairs, he has to. This isn't just when he's kicking off, it's all the time and it can be quite unsettling. If I go out he wants to know when I'm back. It's like being a teenager and having your parents quiz you! Is this some kind of manifestation of anxiety and how does this tie in with ODD? I want to be as ready as I can be when we go to the appointment in 2 weeks, so I'm trying to get things straight in my own mind. Living with these things can sometimes normalise them, if you know what I mean, because it's a part of everyday life, but I suppose when I try to step back from it, there are things that stand out. Sorry if I'm going on. I just have never met another child like mine and although my stepson has dyspraxia and some asperger's traits (wishy washy definition from paediatrician), he is completely different. My step son has been transformed from an angry, spiteful child to as near an angel as he can be, just through being able to understand his own condition. My son, on the other hand, is seen as a monster! [/QUOTE]
