[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 49544, member: 1550"] Hi, and welcome. I have sort of the same questions as Kris. 1/ Who evaluated him? 2/ Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist for an intensive evaluation or ha he had a mutli-disciplinary evaluation? In older kids (older than five) I prefer NeuroPsychs. They often catch things others don't because they do extensive testing. 3/Has he been tried on any medications? 4/Are there are mood disorders or substance abuse issues on either side of the family tree? (It would help if you did a signature like I did below) 5/Any neurological problems in the family? Any form of Aspergers/autism? For the most part, CD isn't diagnosed until after 18. in my opinion, he is exhibiting signs of things that could be attributed to disorders far more treatable than Conduct Disorder. ODD and CD are most often diagnosed by Psycologists, but if you went to a Child Psychiatrist or neuropsychologist (or both--we did both), I'd bet you'd get a different diagnosis, which could lead you in a more positive direction. ODD rarely stands alone nor does Conduct Disorder--often it is the result of an untreated psychiatric or neurological problem. Look at your family tree for clues and almost everything is genetic. Hope to see you around more. [/QUOTE]
