[QUOTE="rachelfran, post: 141830, member: 3955"] I've been to this board before and will sum up our situation until now : my son is 7 in july; he's been getting Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, Speech and off/on counseling since he's 3; He's in a CTT class for kindergarden & 1st grade but teachers say he's ready for a gen ed. classroom for 2nd grade; we're happy he's doing well in school; At home though - his behavior is seemingly not typical for a kid his age; he rarely plays with toys - prefers to watch t.v., play computer & video games or gameboy; if a friend comes over - he does not play well with him - usually wanting him to watch what he does and not letting the friend do what he wants to do; also - and most noticeably - he has a terrible temper - involving hitting, screaming, crying - though we've never heard of this behavior in school; He will claw and kick and fight if we try to put him in a time out .. pretty much what we see on that nanny show on t.v.... Whenever he's told "no" - he reacts violently - though it often just blows over within minutes; We had taken him to a psychiatric because we thought he had ODD (that's when I was on this board last) - but the psychiatric ruled it out though he could see some symptoms but in the end we left with no diagnosis and I still have a nagging feeling that something is wrong with DS ... what should our next steps be? Should we just try another psychiatric? a developmental pediatrician? We don't have the $$ for a $4000 plus evaluation and when the last psychiatric tried to get some evaluating done - he found it next to impossible because of my sons oppositional nature. THanks! (FWIW I have read the Difficult Child) [/QUOTE]
