[QUOTE="cgottshall2, post: 420163, member: 11663"] Welcome Tired. I am new to this site as well. Everything that you described about your son is my 14yr old daughter to a 'T'! Except she was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD (oppositional defiance). Everything I've read about on the ODD spectrum, she is. Our daughter doesn't care about school so much that once she gets off the bus, she goes directly to the de-escalation room as they call it. We have taken EVERYTHING away. TV, cell phone, radio, iPod, etc. She doesn't care. One option we have which has not been used yet is hospitalization. Does your son become violent? What is your local crisis center? If he were put in a residential treatment, he could be required to take his medications. Plus they could help with the ODD behavior. We have been trying to get her into a residential treatment center, but they keep telling us we have to have her hospitalized so many times. It is extremely frustrating. Other than that, I have no ideas to help. I'm hoping for some on this site also! Good luck to you! :goodluck: [/QUOTE]
