[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 595954, member: 11791"] Ummm... autism pretty much wipes out all the other dxes except bi-polar. And typical tdocs don't work for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Has he ever had a formal, comprehensive evaluation? and an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation (sensory and motor skills)... some comp evaluations are team-based and include Occupational Therapist (OT), many do not. ODD in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids is typically an attempt to reduce chaos by being in control. It doesn't work well... but it's a sign that things are out of order. As a diagnosis, ODD gives you nothing except a label - which sometimes, at least acknowledges that there is a problem. I think of it as a "placeholder" diagnosis... semi-useful only until you get something better. Have you done any reading up on parenting Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids? [/QUOTE]
