[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 335590, member: 3907"] Hello and welcome, I want to echo MidwestMom's suggestion about getting a neuropsychologist evaluation for Patric. Your descriptions of his behaviour do sound somewhat Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-ish to me. ADHD/ODD is often a first diagnosis. ODD describes behaviour, not the underlying condition. And so many other disorders mimic ADHD, that it's difficult to tell what you're dealing with at first. It's like the old saying...when you see hoof prints in the sand, assume it's a horse, not a zebra. Well, a lot of our children are the zebra's so sometimes further investigation is needed. So glad you found us. Trinity [/QUOTE]
