[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 103176, member: 1550"] Has he ever had a neuropsychologist evaluation? If not, I highly recommend it. He could have many disorders--if mood disorders and substance abuse run in the family it could be a mood disorder (which may HAVE to be medicated or get worse) or he could be on the autism spectrum by his symptoms. I would do a complete evaluation. Many things can look like ADHD/ODD, but it's not helpful to try diagnosing yourself. And counselors, social workers, psycologists, etc. from our experience tend to be poor diagnosticians. They don't do any testing. NeuroPsychs will do up to twelve hours of intensive testing. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
