[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 557217, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. Can you tell us a little bit about his infancy and if there are any genetic stuff on either side of his family tree, either mental healthwise or neurological, like autism or ADHD? The more we know, the more we can help. Also, as much as it is sometimes distasteful to certain parents, you KNOW something is wrong with your boy; that he needs help. Most likely you can't get much help without a label. That's how it works, if you live in the US. Sadly, otherwise he will probably just be labled "bad" and you a "bad parent" (which isn't true) and he won't get the help he needs for the problems that are causing his behaviors. I don't put stock in an ODD diagnosis either, but there are many other diagnosis. that do have importance and the child can be helped if the right professionals assess him (I like neuropsychs). You have probably already seen this "bad child" garbage at school. You can try to help him on your own. In the end, you will probably need to take him in for an evaluation anyway as his behavior is disruptive to other children and to yourself and your husband and his siblings, if there are any. Any label is just a "working diagnosis" until the child is older anyway, but it can help him a lot with supports and with the way he is perceived by his school. Was there anything unusual about his early history? Did he scream a lot as an infant, refuse to cuddle or make eye contact, or did he have a chaotic time in his early years? Any change in caregivers? Any illnesses? Did he speak on time and reach his motor skills on time? Potty on time? Does he know how to relate well to his SAME AGE peers? How is he doing academically? Can he transition without crying? Does he eat and sleep well? Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
