[QUOTE="slobberslinger, post: 386488"] I truely do not believe he has Autism or any form of Autism. Not that I'm an expert, by any means. We went through the whole Autism testing thing with our easy child and so I am very much aware of what to look for. His speech is completely normal. Not delayed, not advanced. He went to Head Start and no one mentioned a concern, other than behavior. He has little friends and exhibits empathy is pretty much a normal, loving guy when he's not being off the hook. I realize spinning is something that Autistic kiddos are attracted to....I think he's more into things that "destroy" things... As far as the woman that diagnosed him with ODD, she's part of the Children's Resource Team at this place called OPTIONS...which is a mental health organization in our town. She's an MFCC, LPC. I will definitely consider the testing you guys are suggesting, I'll have to see if I can get a referral, as we are on state insurance. We live in Southern Oregon. We actually took our easy child to a pediatrician neurologist when he was 3 for his Tourette Syndrom diagnosis...I'm assuming this is different than a neuropsychologist?? I'll have to investigate. I hope I don't sound like I'm blowing off your suggestions...I really appreciate your welcomes and imput! Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
