[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557250, member: 3419"] Welcome, Seeker. You do have your hands full! I would, first of all, persuade you to give up any notions you have of labels being bad. They can be useful tools in receiving assistance and therapies, and also, they can and will be changed throughout your son's lifetime. Don't worry about that part! Also, if he is labeled ODD, it's an adjective. I, for one, am sick of doctors and others who label kids ODD and call it a day. It's an adjective as far as I'm concerned. It simply describes behaviors but does nothing to tell you what your son (or mine) really has. You need to watch your son carefully to see what his triggers are. Lights? Noises? Running water? Textures in food? You get the idea. He could have sensory integration disorder, for example, or sensory defensiveness, which is a stand-alone or can be part of something bigger. I hope that you get a little bit of time alone each day to breathe and recover. It is hard and it wears you out. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
