[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 557190"] Welcome to our little corner of the world. First of all, many of us here don't put much stock in the ODD diagnosis. All that says is that the child is oppositional and defiant but does not tell anyone WHY. There IS a reason and it's their job (and ours) to figure that part out. If you can find a good neuropsychologist, that would be the first place to look. I would also recommend you have a thorough Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation done to see if there are any sensory or motor problems. That can be huge. The best books to read, as far as a lot of us are concerned, are The Explosive Child by Ross Greene and also What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You (drawing a blank on the author for some reason). Those two books will give you a whole different view of the behaviors and hopefully help figure out why they are happening. Can you give us some specific examples of the types of behaviors you deal with and what is usually happening BEFORE the behavior starts as well as how you usually handle them and how he responds? Others will come along and give you more feedback and probably ask a LOT of questions to get to know the situation better. No one is being nosy but it will help everyone steer you in the right direction. {{{{HUGS}}}} [/QUOTE]
