[QUOTE="paisleysea, post: 385847"] Thanks for your reply! I suspect that J's ODD stems in part from his difficult temperament (since birth). He's also highly sensitive, early verbal skills without the ability to really process everything he's tuning in to and understanding on a verbal level. At the age of 3 when we could have been helping him learn coping we skills we were busy trying to keep his new baby brother alive. He's also very intelligent and arrives at answers quickly while having a difficult time breaking things down into parts to "explain" himself. The typical manner in schools of showing work and breaking down assignments into parts doesn't work well for him. I was like this in school, as well, but learned quickly to work backwards to please my teachers. I suspect from his behavior and what he shares with me that school has become a highly frustrating environment. He doesn't like being told what to do and even gets teased by his peers for enjoying reading so much. In a society where sports and athletic ability are valued so highly it can be difficult for the more brainy kids to feel valued, Know what I mean?? The therapist we are working with right now is a pediatric psychologist who has years of experience working with children like J. How would I obtain a more complete analysis? [/QUOTE]
