[QUOTE="buddy, post: 495238, member: 12886"] OH you will get tons of info on the explosive child here.... yes, many of us like that book. It is not perfect. Children who are wired differently often need more than one intervention. MHO?? this psychologist is not meant for kids who are wired differently which it sounds like your son might not be. How does he do in school? Does he have any friends at all? I am sure I wont be the first to suggest to you to make an appointment for a complete neuropsychological evaluation. (neuropsychologist). These folks are phD psychologists who have a specialty in how the brain and behavior is connected. They can help to differentiate between different diagnosis and help you get to the underlying things that are causing the ODD. ODD for most of us is a term that just means he has behavior challenges. BIG DEAL. it is not a condition. Usually there is a condition that leads to the behaviors (or conditions, lots of little things like communication challenges, social challenges, fine motor, gross motor, processing challenges, sensory integration issues, etc.... and could be a mental health condition, the autism spectrum, a genetic disorder, many many options) In addition to this person, it is always good for kids with challenges like this to have a good Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for motor and sensory problems, as well as a speech/language evaluation by someone who is really good at social communication problems and identifying language processing and formulation issues. You will find many people here who get where you are coming from! Welcome to this amazing group. [/QUOTE]
