[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 232804, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome! I am glad you found us but sorry you need us. I am going to be blunt. I think the ODD diagnosis is garbage. it describes behaviors, but does NOTHING to tell you what is causing the behaviors. Until you know the cause, you can't start to repair things. I think your son should be fully tested for neurological problems, and tested by a neuropsychologist to figure out what is really going on. He should be checked for learning disabilities and any other problem you can think of. MANY, if not most of us started with an adhd and odd diagnosis. And we found that when we discovered what was really going on and got whatever supports/accomodations were needed, well, the ODD behavior disappeared. I hope you can get full testing for your son without too much hassle, and that the testing shows what he is going through. Kids don't just suddenly have anger issues. there is a reason. Also, The Explosive Child seems complex at first. but it really does help, especially with aggressive children. It lets you have them help find the solutions, and that really helps. I also like the Love and Logic parenting books, you might find them helpful. you can learn more about them at [url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] . Again, Welcome, and I hope you stick around! [/QUOTE]
