[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 353642, member: 1550"] Actually, my recommendation is to take him to a neuropsychologist (as opposed to a regular psychologist) for a better diagnostic evalution. These are psychologists who also have extra training in the brain and can often sniff out the stuff even a psychiatrist can miss. ODD rarely stands alone and if he acted out in such a dangerous way that the kids had to leave the room, it is likely more than ODD. Are there any psychiatric disorders on either side of your son's family tree? Any substance abuse (this can indicate a serious mood disorder). Did your son development his milestones on time? Did he have appropriate eye contact, speech, and cuddling? Does he understand how to relate appropriately to his same age peers? Can he transition well from one activity to another? Does he have any repetitive movements or obsessive interests? Did he play with toys in appropriate ways or did he line them up OR dismantle them OR ignore toys? How is his imagination? Does he ever mimic the things he hears, like TV commercials? Cartoons? If behavior modification doesn't work, it's likely the wrong treatment for him. Also, since there is no medication for plain ODD, in my opinion it's best to find out what is also going on that is causing the ODD. That way it is easier for us to give you our experiences. Very few kids just have ODD. Welcome to the board...very sorry you had to be join us though. [/QUOTE]
