[QUOTE="keista, post: 528923, member: 11965"] Welcome! Sounds like a handful. ODD? Yeah, [B]BUT[/B] we (sorry, meant to say some of us) don't like that diagnosis around here. It's pretty much meaningless. It offers no explanation as to WHY the child is being oppositional and therefore there's no clear treatment. So you get some fancy letters, but you're no better off than when you started. Great that you'll be getting thorough evaluations soon. You've got a pretty good self-assessment going. May I suggest researching Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and high functioning autism including Asperger's. From your brief description, I feel he may fit in there.
