[QUOTE="Josie, post: 317605, member: 1792"] My daughter was around that age when I found out about ODD. I felt such relief when I read about it and it described her so well. I thought I had finally found what was wrong with her. Unfortunately, while it describes behaviour, it doesn't really tell what to do about it. We were going to a therapist at the time also. The therapist would talk to my daughter by herself but I don't feel that it really did any good. A 7 year old difficult child is not really going to be able to look at their behaviour and make changes on their own, in my humble opinion. The real change would have to be from the parent's side or medications. The therapist helped me cope with difficult child but not much changed overall. On the bright side, we did figure out what the real problem was. My daughter has food intolerances to gluten and dairy. When she eliminated those foods from her diet (every trace), she is a different child. A pleasure to be around, even, at age 13. She had been taking an a/d at the highest dose and we were looking at adding an antipsychotic to get her behaviour and violent tendencies under control. Once she changed her diet, she was able to get off from all medications. She's been doing this diet for 3 1/2 years now. I have found that I feel much better just by giving up gluten. I can have milk without noticing anything. If you try this, your son might not have to give up both. Welcome to the board. You will get a lot of good ideas and support here. [/QUOTE]
