[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 84086, member: 3837"] I'm glad you have a new doctor appointment. I'm not sure what type of doctor you are seeing, but many on here, including me, recommend a neuropsychologist. If you can find one that is pediatric and request a multi-disciplinary evaluation, this really helps cover the bases. We took our 3 difficult children to one and this man spent more time not only listening to us, but also spent more time with our boys. He had many more suggestions to offer than any psychiatrist or psychologist we have seen. I too thought my youngest son was ODD. I thought his bad behavior was extremely manipulative. Often times I felt like it was directed souly at me. Recently we visited a new psychiatrist after the neuropsychologist evaluation and the psychiatrist agreed with one of the DXs and started him on a new medication. He has improved greatly, although I do believe the medicine needs to be upped a little now. Many think ODD is actually a symptom rather than its own disorder. I'm starting to think this is true with my son too. Good luck with the new doctor. Let us know how it goes. You found a great board for support and advice. The people here are wonderful. Welcome!
