[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 337335, member: 1514"] Hi, welcome to the board. Sorry you had to find your way here. First of all, breathe! We have all felt the way you are feeling, most of us when we found this board...lol. You will find lots of people here who have walked in your shoes and can offer advice and a shoulder to lean on. Now for some questions. Who diagnosed you son? Has he ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist or by a multi-disciplinary team to look for all possible problems? Are there any possible psychiatric problems in the family tree? These might not be diagnosed problems but could be people who had difficulties in their lives with alcohol or drug issues or depression or have been socially awkward. Did your son meet his milestones on time as an infant and young child? How does he do with his classmates and peers? While ODD can be a stand alone diagnosis, most times it just describes a set of behaviors that can be part of another diagnosis. Maybe he is frustrated because of his Learning Disability (LD)'s. Maybe he has something else going on. I would seek another opinion if you can to see if there is anything else at play here. Hang in there and know that we understand. Oh...and please create a signature something like the one I have below. It helps us keep everyone straight. I get quite confused! Again...welcome. [/QUOTE]
