[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 381660"] Thanks for your input. I am so glad I found this sight. Nice to know I'm not the only one with these problems. I don't like the ODD label either because it is so misleading. I was misled until I started researching. Now I just need to try to educate the school. They are still on the wrong page. Marg, thanks for the book recommendation. I will be getting it very soon. The title sounds perfect. Now to answer MidwestMom's questions. 1) He was diagnosed by a highly recommended child psychiatris. We had a neuropsychologist done 3 years ago which was not helpful at all. JW wouldn't cooperate with the testing. Dr's conclusions: A. the ADHD medications are not working(he wasn't wired just refusing to cooperate) and B. Mom needs training on how to parent effectively 2) Me- major depression and severe anxiety 15 years ago- no current problems My mom- untreated Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (never officially diagnosed but the signs are there) JW's father - schizoeffective, ADHD, bipolar (don't know about his side because he was adopted at 3 days old & has no information about biologicals) - has no contact with JW since birth. Left 3 weeks before JW was born. 3) Normal development. He is a twin. Very small for his size still and very sensitive about it. He was sexually abused by a babysitter when he was 3 years old. Has major trust & touch issues since. I am the only one allowed inside his bubble 24/7. He transitions well as long as he knows about it ahead of time. Melts down with unexpencted change. He gets along well with other kids. He hates any authority he has a run in with because he's convinced they hate him when they don't approve of 100% of what he's doing or try to set limits. He is very sensitive to certain smells but haven't been able to narrow it down. We just know it when he smells it. He is fidgety, playing with string or squishy things and he constantly has something tiny in his mouth to chew on. He has been on the B honor roll until now. He's refusing to do the work because "it's too hard" or "it's too much writing". I am having the school test him for tactile issues that might be causing a problem with writing. I also asked them to test for Disorder of Written Expression but they said they have never heard of such a thing. I am helping him slowly get caught up in homework. Grades are starting to go up but maybe not enough. I have been trying to figure out how you guys do the signature. I know it would help but have no idea how to do it. Thanks again for the input. I am always open to suggestions. TeDo [/QUOTE]
