[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 461544, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Sorry you need to find us - but glad you did. Thanks for the details in your post - you've already answered some of the questions we usually end up asking...! But, there's always more... Who did the evaluations on your son, for ADHD and for ODD? Did he get both diagnosis at the same time? Is he on any medications? Sounds like there was a therapist or psychiatrist in the picture, but not recently? How has he done in school? If he struggles, what does he struggle with? Is there anything that comes easy? Does he have any interests? hobbies? Is he involved in sports? music? Around here, we tend to take the ODD diagnosis as a "place-holder"... in younger kids, many things are hard to put a finger on, and the ODD label is "official recognition" that something is going on. But the ODD label doesn't help much in figuring out what to do about it. Its possible that there isn't anything more for a diagnosis than ADHD - especially because executive functions issues can be part of that (impulsive, disorganized, etc.). But, there could also be more going on in terms of dxes. He's also at an age where the lack of male leadership may be having an impact. He's well into puberty now. Is there anyone in his life for a male role-model? Just some random thoughts and questions... Others will be along later. [/QUOTE]
