[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 498677, member: 1550"] You haven't bored us at all. We've all been there. Do you live in Canada? ODD applies to almost every single one of our kids, however ODD is not seen by many of us as a useful diagnosis. It basically is diagnosed when the child is defiant, but the professional isn't sure why, and rarely stands alone. Kids are defiant for various reasons, and most kids are not doing it in purpose just to make you miserable :) You may want to take this little online test to see if it fits your son. People on an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) site that I post on feel it is pretty accurate if the parent is totally honest about the answers. May as well see if it rings a bell. In my extremely layperson opinion he has a lot of markers and red flags for high functioning autism. The obessessing is classic. My son not only watched certain shows with fascination; he could and did recite them almost verbatim after he saw them. He did not have the normal variety of childhood interests. These kids also are socially clueless. Some are friendly, but put other kids off by being too "in your face" and not listening when the other child speaks. Some just shrink away from other people.
