[QUOTE="MyGoosesMom, post: 19635, member: 3466"] Answers to questions: What kind of doctor diagnosed your son with ADD/ODD? [b] [/b] We took him to a psychologist and submitted family survery/teacher survey. Computer testing given by the psychologist. What kind of doctor is currently treating him? [b] [/b] We currently only have our pedi as we were so frustrated with the lack of help we were getting. The psychologist closed his practice and moved north with his family; the psychiatrist only wrote the Rx (if I got them backwards, please forgive me...I am FOREVER mixing them up) What does the ODD behavior look like at home and at school? [b] [/b] At school - throwing things, stabbing papers, yelling, banging his head with his fists, jumping up and down. No anger ever directed at others unless they corner him...then he wants to get away. Restraining him makes it worse. At home - I guess we see it starting, are more aware, and we can knock it down pretty quick. At home it is more the jumping up and down and crying...then stomping off. The cool down at home is pretty quick. Why do you think he does better at home than at school? [b] [/b] I think it is because we are more aware of it and we also have the ability to ignore certain things the school currently feels they can't. How does he get along with peers? [b] [/b] Very well. He has a number of friends at school. only a few that we socialize with outside of school, but that is my fault, not his. I am not good about setting up play dates. he does have 2 cousins that are 7 & 5 and they spend a lot of time together. Does he have any sensory issues (sensitivity to food or clothing textures, loud noises, etc)? [b] [/b] Was sensitive to loud noises as a child, more so right after he got his tubes put in his ears. Not so much now. He likes to smell things before he does anything with them. Will eat anything you offer him. Any developmental or speech delays? [b] [/b] None Any mood issues or substance abuse in the family tree? [b] [/b] Yes - brother in law (2) - alcoholic/binge drinkers; My B - alcoholic; my Paternal Grandfather - alcoholic; my mom - severe depression (has been hospitalized); my father committed suicide in 2002 - he was on high doses of prednisone and he developed cushing syndrome...can make you "crazy"; my nephew has Asperger's and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); I have been depressed in the past (post-partum) I have applied for a program at Texas Children's Hospital...just have to wait for them to call back...
