[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 232803, member: 1550"] Well, the majority of us here believe that ODD doesn't exist alone. It sounds like he could use an evaluation by a neuropsychologist (that's different than a psychologist or a neurologist and is really quite intensive and in my opinion very good). That's what I'd recommend. He sounds like his development was a bit atypical and if it were my kid I'd want to check it out. In general, ODD behavior seems to be due to frustration in our kids--I'd say most of our kids qualify as ODD, but that isn't the major problem. A neuropsychologist can uncover problems other professionals miss due to the nature of the testing. in my opinion it's best to look at all possibilities and see what comes up because it's easier to take care of problems when a child is young than when they get older. Trust me, been there/done that. I'd be looking for Learning Disability (LD)'s too...things beyond ADHD/ODD. My son was first diagnosed as ADHD/ODD, but stims made him mean and aggressive...that wasn't his biggest problem. I wish they'd have found it earlier, but he's doing well now. Anyhooooo others will be along with thier opinions. [/QUOTE]
