[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 444714, member: 10"] Hi and welcome from an ex - south African - I miss the rugby and cricket Diagnosis might be helpful for medication, but unfortunately they don't tell us much and distract our attention from the real issues and problems of living. The ODD diagnosis implies that your child is deliberately being resistant and oppositional , he could choose to be otherwise . All his behavior is because he lacks crucial skills and these are missing when demands on those skills are being made. We need to go beyond the diagnosis and focus on the missing skills in the context of unsolved problems . Check the Alsup - assessed lacking skills and unsolved problems ( your input) check list . Autism is a skills based disorder , but kids with different diagnosis often share the same missing skills. [url]http://www.livesinthebalance.org/paperwork[/url] what type of parenting interventions does the therapist recommend - behavior modification or ' working with the child to solve problems I hope this helps you go beyond the diagnosis , no magic bullet , nurture yourself , find a mentor , older brother , buddy etc for your son , horse riding is great too.
