[QUOTE="Bailey_PA, post: 211959, member: 6313"] Thanks to everyone. Just knowing I'm not alone makes this a little easier. I'll try to answer some questions. [B]1/Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse issues on either side of the family tree?[/B] My h's dad had some issues, but I'm not exactly sure what they were. [B]2/How was her early development, including speech, eye contact with strangers, peer interaction, imaginative play, cuddling, and fine/gross motor?[/B] His early development was fine. He actually spoke very well very quickly. He's always played well with others and is very affectionate. His teachers have always said he's really smart and besides his behavioral issue, he's always done well. Surprisingly, though, his most recent teacher did bring up a question about his fine motor skills. She said he didn't seem to write as well as others his age and was a bit behind in letter/sound recognition. I don't know if that's because he hasn't been in school or if it's evidence of a larger problem. Hopefully, we'll get some additional answers after his evaluation on Wednesday. [B]Have you ever heard of a neuropsychologist? They tend to give really good, 6-10 hour evaluations and often catch stuff that others miss. ODD rarely stands alone. [/B]I have not brought my son to a neuropsychologist yet, but I did bring him to a neurologist. He said that my son's problems were behavioral and not neurological. He has not had an extensive evaluation yet. We don't have an Access card yet, and the places that do them will only do them if you have an Access card.
