[QUOTE="EmJay, post: 484065, member: 13282"] Thanks for the support TeDo. It was very difficult reading that Blog Entry this morning. In part it was my own fault as I went fishing. But in honesty I was looking for something else! LOL! As far as my sons diagnosis; we received it last year after 2 years of difficulties at school. I've always known he was a bit difficult to handle but I tried to deal with them at home. Moreso Denial on my part. I didn't want to face the fact that he was just like me and that I had done all of this to him. We went to a counselor to get some help because he had lost a young friend last summer, my husband had lost his job, and I found out i was pregnant. The counselor told us in 2 short sessions that unless I decided to medicate him she wouldn't be able to help him because he had absolutely no attention span at that time. That was NOvember. In May she mentioned the ODD. I see the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). There are certain situations with him that things have to be done in certain order. And I've always noticed the Anxiety. Especially in situations with lots of people. It's usually mistaken/misread as defiance; when actually it's him panicking/becoming anxious. [/QUOTE]
