[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 212537, member: 831"] "automagically". Love that word. It describes my thinking in many ways when it comes to my difficult children, especially my 12 year old son. Even though I've had TONS of testng done on him, there is still that part of me that believes one day that some how "it" will all click with him. He also sees the world as black/white and when he wants something he is tenaous and no explanation will do unless it is the answer he wants to hear. I constantly asked, lectured, nagged and yelled about riding his bike in a safe manner. He was dismissive, and rude, and ignored me, until he was nearly killed after he was swiped by a car. Luckily, he got away with broken glasses and some road rash. Hopefully, there won't be a next time. I agree with the neuropsychologist evaluation. It takes a few days and is very comprehensive if done properly. Though, sometimes it can reveal, as it did in my case, some things that can't be medicated, or therapied, away. In my son's case, it reveal limitations that have to be lived with and hopefully adapted to. I'm no doctor, but your son sounds like he has more than ADHD going on. ODD by the way, is a term to describe behavior, it is not a disorder in my opinion. Glad you found us. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
