[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 291476, member: 1550"] I'm on board with not thinking ODD is anything more than a symptom of a bigger disorder. Are there psychiatric issues or substance abuse on either side of your son's family tree? How was his early development? Does he understand how to relate to his same age peers? Is his speech and eye contact good? Has he tried medications? Did they help or make it worse? What was he on? I would take him to a neuropsychologist. I've been through the gamut of diagnosticians because I have bipolar and my son is on the autism spectrum and in my opinion NeuroPsychs are the top diagnosticians (they are NOT neurologists). Pediatricians, therapists, and even psychiatrists don't do the extensive testing that they do. They really don't even seem to know how. I hope you give us more info so you can help us. My guess is bio. dad probably had some very severe issues which is why you're no longer with him. But the child is still genetically his and there IS biology. You may want to do a signature for us like I have done below. Oh, yeah. Welcome to the board. We DO understand! :happy: [/QUOTE]
