[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 474630"] Your story sounded familiar so I read the whole thing. Then I read your signature to keep things straight and I, personally, think the answer is right there. Bio-mom used meth during pregnancy. Do some research on fetal alcohol syndrome and similar things. I wouldn't even consider ODD because most of the time it is just a symptom of something else. I, personally, don't think it is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but I could be wrong. It just doesn't "sound right" to me but then again I don't get paid the big bucks. If the psychiatrist is refusing to listen to you then it is time to find a new one. It is NOT going to help difficult child at all to continue to seek help from a professional that has his head in the sand. You are doing difficult child AND yourselves a great disservice if you continue with that psychiatrist. I'm not sure about your insurance and services in your area, but have you looked into a voluntary psychiatric hospital stay so they can observe his behaviors and do some diagnostics? Also, have you tried videotaping the behaviors? I couldn't video situations with difficult child 1 because I swear he has "camera radar" but I did use a voice recorder twice and was able to show him and the professionals what he was saying and how he was talking. Camera's are always better so that might help. [/QUOTE]
