[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 282935, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. Right off the bat, autism screams at me, not ODD. Who diagnosed him? Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? There are various types of autism, some very high functioning. Does this child make eye contact with strangers? Does he know how to interact with his same age peers? Does he play appropriately with toys? Does he ever repeat what he has heard on television almost verbatim? Any repetitive behaviors--lip smacking, high pitched vocalizations, arm flapping, rocking, turning lightswitches on and off, etc. Any early interest in memorizing letters and numbers? Does he freak out for transitions? My son, who is on the high end of autism, used to take off in malls and I'd have to chase him and probably looked like a crazy lady. WE adopted him and he is African-American. I'm white. I think I saw people staring at me in horror, probably thinking I was kidnapping him!!! Then he'd fall to the floor and scream like I was ki lling him. Amazing no one ever called Social Services, but maybe they could see how much I loved him and how connected we were. My son had an early diagnosis. of ADHD/ODD, but it was incorrect. Most of us here don't believe ODD stands alone and is the result of a bigger disorder. I think your little guy needs a re-evaluation by somebody who will test him for all disorders, and I also think he would benefit greatly from the school's Early Education program. Welcome again! Good people are here :happy: [/QUOTE]
