[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 495242, member: 1550"] Zora, I sincerely think you need to forget this psychologist and take him for an intensive neuropsychologist evaluation. ODD does not stand alone and most certainly there is something else pushing the ODD behavior. ODD is actually not really treatable by itself, but again it rarely stands alone. I would not stick with this psychologist. He obviously has not done the 6-10 hours of testing a neuropsychologist would do. He also hasn't helped at all. In fact, your son is getting worse. I would also recommend touching base with a child psychiatrist and work with both the psychiatrist and the neuropsychologist. I have a few questions that will help us, help you. 1/ How was his early development: eye contact, cuddling, speech, mimicking behavior, temperment. And at her age, how does he relate to his same age peers? Is he socially aware? Does he know how to have a give-and-take conversation? Any strange quirks or obsessions? Tics? Lip smacking, arm flapping, throat noises? How does he do in school? 2/Are there are psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of his biological family tree, including extended relatives even if he never sees them? Heredity is huge! Any early chaos or caretaker neglect? You may want to post a signature like I did below. It helps prompt us. Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
