[QUOTE="ItSnowed, post: 518501, member: 14256"] Thank you all so much! Here is what I did find out this afternoon. I already knew there was no history of drugs (luckily both of my children have been drug free). I had tested him a few weeks ago when the behavior showed, because I needed something to blame it on. They tested him upon entry and it was negative then as well. But I talked to a social worker today and told her I wanted a second opinion because whereas I agree that he demonstrates quite a few qualities of CD, I really didn't feel that was the issue. So she pulled his chart and his primary diagnosis is bi-polar which is something I think I can live with. He does have secondary diagnoses of CD and ADHD. They started him on Seroquil last night. So we'll see how that works. And they are currently not treating his ADHD which is fine by me because I can handle bouncy....lol. I stopped by his school today (the behavior modification one) and spoke with his case manager there before going to see him and talking to the social worker. She told me that she truly did not feel that he had CD because he does show remorse when he has done wrong (maybe not right away, but it does occur at some point). She felt that he was bi-polar and suggested that I get a second opinion of the diagnosis I was given yesterday. I am feeling much better now and have a more positive attitude. I was scared because they had told me there was no hope. I'll have to see if there is a neuropsychologist in this area, as it is still a small town and I have not known there to be one here. [/QUOTE]
