[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 212984, member: 1550"] Hiya :) We need way more info to help you, but I can give you my two cents right off the bat. I would run (not walk) from any therapist who diagnosed a child that young with ODD and Severe Conduct Disorder (CD is usually not diagnosed until 18 or older and neither ODD or CD are very useful diagnosis.). Tell us a bit about this child. Has he ever been intensively evaluated by a neuropsychologist? That would be my very first suggestion. Here are a few questions that will help us help you. 1/ Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? Any suicide attempts? 2/How was his early development in these areas: speech, eye contact with strangers, cuddling, ability to relate to peers, large and small motor skills, pottying, any quirky behavior, can he transition from one activity to another without melting down, does he play with toys in normal ways? Now, at age six, does he understand how to socialize with peers? Is he appropriate? Does he know how to hold a give-and-take conversation? Do noises, textures, foods, bright lights upset him? Is he disoriented in crowds? Does he ever seem "out of it" then sometimes confuse you all by suddenly seeming very with it? How does he do in school academically? 3/Is he a biological child or was he adopted? If adopted, at what age? Any in utero drug exposure? You may want to do a signature like I did below. Welcome to the board! :) [/QUOTE]
