[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 443965, member: 11791"] Ditch the ODD label - he's way to young for that one... and its a bit of a 'catch-all' diagnosis - not really useful. Is there any way you can get access to an Occupational Therapist (OT) (occupational therapist)? If so, take him for an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation - especially for sensory issues, but on as many other fronts as they think might be justified by your observations. While you're at it, if you can, get him into for a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech-language pathologist) evaluation as well - again, whole spectrum... from language processing issues, to auditory processing problems (some of which lead to sensory overload). What is his sleep pattern like? Does he crash out "before his head hits the pillow"? Sleeps long hours, but still has dark circles? If so, there may also be sleep issues - which can be a stand-alone problem, OR part of certain diagnosis, OR the result of dealing with non-diagnosed problems... Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) are usually fairly fast to get into... No matter what, school is going to need documentation on what is currently known, so that at least they can't just "kick him out". You've got your hands full! Hang in there... (tossing you a knot!)
