[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 456813, member: 6705"] Welcome Eden! I'm glad you found us... Though I'm sorry you had to. From what I have learned over the past few years, an ODD diagnosis tends to be a catchall - there are other things that cause the behaviors that indicate ODD. Kids on the autism spectrum really do exhibit these behaviors! I have a 13-y/o with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), not otherwise specified - though the doctor says Fetal Alcohol, not autism spectrum. Regardless, it manifests in all kinds of ways. Has he given you any reasons for his refusals? Sometimes it can be something so little as being overwhelmed! And, being autistic, he may not be able to tell you. So... It's worth an ask. Has he been on any medications? And you said he was diagnosis'd at 4... What were the signs, etc. that led to you having him checked out? One last thing... There is a book a lot of us on the site have found EXTREMELY useful... It's called The Explosive Child, by Ross Greene. ...Now I will say, not everything in that book works for everyone... But, for instance, it's helped me prioritize - which makes MY life easier... And Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids pick up on stress. :hugs: and WELCOME! [/QUOTE]
