[QUOTE="Taveuni, post: 522937, member: 14375"] Here is some more info on my son. He had a language delay and received a year of toddler development services beginning at 24 months. It included monthly Occupational Therapist (OT) and we were told he had some sensory processing issues for which a sensory rich diet was suggested. He required lots of physical input and loved to push heavy objects and crash into things. The program was successful at developing his language and his language is now excellent. He can play nice with other children but has one child in particular that he has hit and pushed down on occasion. He has a little girl friend that he loves and he will let her take his toys and not blink. He is extremely mean to his baby sister. Today he spit at me and her as we were sitting on a bench watching him. He also pulled her hand in the car. He is constantly in motion, sometimes even making a buzzing sound with his lips like a bee. He gets overwhelmed in Busy or chaotic situations. He can be calm at times and will have good and bad days. I feel his behavior is getting worse. He is impossible to discipline. We have tried spanking but I think he enjoys the negative energy as it does not change his behavior. We tried time outs which he would only do strapped in his car seat. I think he may get an ADHD diagnosis later in life. He has a difficult time staying engaged in play and tends to bounce from one activity to the next. He will pull his entire preschool class around in a wagon. The child has superhuman strength. He is not good about making eye contact but can be very engaging on his terms. He has excellent hearing. Everything must be on his terms. Transitions are very difficult so we try to give him warnings (5 min). We took him to Disneyland for his 3rd birthday and he could not wait in lines and completely melted down. He is generally fearless and will run away from us in public settings. He is potty trained but refuses to poop in the toilet instead announcing "I need a pull up.". Any advice you can give is appreciated. Please note the diagnosis of ODD was made by a child neurologist.
