[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 129554, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. I'm sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us point you in the right direction. What kind of doctor diagnosed your son? Were any medications suggested? What kind of behaviors are you seeing that particularly concern you? How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? Any developmental or speech delays? Any sensory issues (sensitivity to clothing tags, loud noises, food textures, for example)? Any substance abuse or mental health issues in the family tree? In general, ODD doesn't stand alone but is rather caused by an underlying disorder. Think of ODD as a symptom rather than a diagnosis unto itself. When the underlying disorder (anxiety, depression, mood disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, for example) is identified and treated, the ODD behaviors typically improve. If you haven't already read it, you might want to pick up a copy of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. Many of us have found it helpful in raising our challenging kiddos. Again, welcome. You will find a lot of support here. [/QUOTE]
