[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 498078, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here.Still, it's a nice place to get layman's advice. If you can answer a few questions, that would give us more insight and better answers. 1. Who diagnosed him and did he have intensive testing? Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? Many of us feel ODD is a rather useless diagnosis and it rarely stands alone. Another disorder is actually the usual cause of defiance and I like neuropsychs...they do 6-10 hours of testing in all areas and can really nail things that other professionals miss. 2.Are there any psychiatric problems on either side of his genetic family tree? Any substance abuse? 3. How was his early development in all areas? Was his speech on time? Did he cuddle and make good eye contact with you and others? How does he relate to his same age peers? Does he have any strange quirks or obsessions? Does he play normally with toys? How are his motor skills? 4. Did he have chaos or separation from caregivers in his very early years? What are the family dynamics? Who does he live with? Any bio. father there? Siblings? Others? [/QUOTE]
