[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 442784"] Glad you found us but so very sorry you had to. What kind of doctor diagnosed him? What "testing" did he/she do? What behaviors did the doctor base the diagnoses on? There are many more questions but this will get us started. I would give the doctor a call and be adamant now about "trialing" medications while school is out. Chances are the behavior will carry over to school and that is not a good way to start a school year. Trust your mommy gut. You know him better than anyone else. The diagnosis might be wrong, especially if they didn't do any testing of any kind to get an accurate diagnosis. My son carried the ADHD & ODD diagnosis's for 3 years until I started gently questioning him as to WHY he was doing certain things. That along with further testing changed the ODD diagnosis to Autism Spectrum Disorder. His thinking pattern was so very different than "typical" people. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. You might want to read some other posts to get some ideas. You should also consider reading the books "The Explosive Child" and "What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You". Both are excellent and have been very helpful to many of us here. Others will be along. Stick around and you will learn a lot and get lots of help and support from many who have walked in your shoes.
