[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 332363, member: 1514"] Hi, welcome to the board. You say he has seen a ton of doctors and therapists and they have given him all these diagnosis which in your mind dont agree with each other. However, to me, they actually fall in line with each other. I have been around the block for a long time dealing with kids with ADHD, bipolar and then myself who has bipolar. Bipolar can have mania or hypomania which can look a whole lot like ADHD. The ODD behaviors are just part and parcel of a whole slew of behavior disorders although in a few children it can be the stand alone diagnosis. Has your son ever had an evaluation from a multi-disciplinary team or a neuropsychologist? You would probably find either of these at a childrens hospital. This approach would give you the best chance of really finding out what is fueling his behaviors. Most folks here recommend The Explosive Child book. I like The Defiant Child by Doug Riley. To each his own...lol. [/QUOTE]
