[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 505647, member: 8045"] I fully agree with what Buddy said.....its almost as if you are only in the beginning of this journey..... It usually starts of with ODD.....but because of this great people on this forum, who kept on telling me that there is usually other diagnosis hidden underneith the simple ODD lable, I kept on surging for answers...and oh boy.....did the answers came!!!!! The speech therapy assessment showed my kiddo has auditory prosessing problems.....so often he doesnt understand me correctly so behave 'inappropriatly'......or gets frustrated because of misunderstanding and acts out! The Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment showed he has sensory integration problems, so thats why he lashes out if we touch him or invade his personal space...or smells irritate him....he also has planning problems, so he is not being spite full when he doesnt clean up or do what I ask, he sometimes doesnt know where to start, or what to do! The psychiatrist diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)....so this is why he throws tantrums, scream when things change....For instance, when you moved to other country, or different houses or the new baby arrived, ALL of this can push an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid over the edge? And even when we started doing EEG, now they suspect temporal lobe epilepsy or even tumor, so we are waiting for appointment with neurologist....and this in itself can cause all of the above mentioned! I do think its important to get to the root of this behaviour, because the handling is very different! Sorry to say, but the reallity is that plenty of family or strangers will not understand your childs disability....but that is why this forum is here...to get support from other parents who understand how nerve recking this yourney is! Sorry you had to meet us through this, but I am glad you are here! Hugs! [/QUOTE]
