Hi to everyone !
Wow the ODD behaviors were and still are in overdrive 2nite ! I am letting my husband deal with him right now. I am anxiously awaiting our visit to the neuropsychologist in May because all medications we have tried so far for my son have not worked. I am second guessing his diagnosis at this point in time. Although he was evaluated by a top doctor and the top children's hospital in our area a 3 hr exam does not etch everything in stone for me. He saw a behavioral therapist for over a yr and even she shrugged her shoulders and wasn't sure what was wrong with him. How frustrating and heartbreaking.... teachers have looked at me with complete pity and quite frankly I pity myself alot too ! I have looked at the symptoms of aspergers over a gazillion times and very few symtoms seem to fit but I still am not sure ... His ODD behaviors are impossible and have put so much stress on our family. He basically refuses to do anything he is told. If we say it is black he says it is white... unfortunate, unbelievable and sad. His social skills are terrible, although he has a few friends, he can never play a game with a group of kids without most of them running home screaming how they hate him (he has to pitch, he has to be 1st, he has to run the show, he teases and torments ) he is also quite miserable and nasty... there are times I think he is mentally ill. thanks for letting me vent !
