[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 299675, member: 1550"] I would take him for thorough evaluation, and I prefer NeuroPsychs. Medicating him without knowing what's wrong with him is the same as going to a doctor for a bad cough and being given medications without the doctor having run any tests to know if medications are the answer or WHAT medications. There are many disorders that could be wrong with your child aside from ADHD and ODD, many of us believe, is not a useful diagnosis. It explains that the child is defiant. Well, we know that! :raspberry-tounge: But it doesn't explain WHY. I'd do the neuropsychologist, especially since he is now in school. It could be anything from an emerging early mood disorders to a form of high functioning autism to a combination of many other things, but it doesn't sound like he has had the six to ten hours of testing that NeuroPsychs do. Welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here. [/QUOTE]
