[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 290144, member: 6245"] Welcome! I also admit that i was an occasional spanker until I realized it did nothing but escalate the situation with my difficult child. I am definitly not mistake free in learning how to raise a child with a disorder so try to forgive yourself. You can only change the future not the past. I definitly think you need to have some type of evaluation done so that you know whether this is really an anxiety disorder, mood disorder, aspergers, etc. etc. I really don't believe in an ODD diagnosis for a child because from everything I read there is usually something else behind it. My child fit all the classic ODD symptoms but as soon as we started medications most of those behaviors disappeared. JMO I also agree that you should contact the school to get a multidiciplinary evaluation done so that he is protected from suspension, and/or expulsion asap! It sounds like both have you have been through a lot so I would try to schedule time for just you and him to spend alone. I have found sometimes just one on one attention goes along way. Good Luck!!
