[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 401355"] What kind of doctor are you going to be seeing? I highly recommend you find a good pediatric psychiatrist/psychologist. It may have been "typical boy stuff" at first but since it is progressing I agree it probably isn't anymore. Have you ever tried to figure out WHY he does/says what he does? For me that was huge. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 4 years old and ODD was added during elementary school. We have now discovered that it was never ODD at all but has Autism Spectrum Disorder. What looked like ODD was really that he didn't "understand" what was being asked of him, how he was "supposed" to react to requests, handling emotions in "acceptable" ways, etc. I don't know if any of this would have come to light if I hadn't started working hard to figure out the WHY of his behavior. Read the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Others will be along to give you there "expertise". You have come to the right place. Welcome to the "family". [/QUOTE]
