[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 141877, member: 1550"] Hi, and welcome. I would take him to a neuropsychologist rather than a regular psychologist. He has some serious red flags for possibly a neurological disorder, such as autistic spectrum disorder, high functioning. HIs lack of play with toys or with kids and over-interest in his computers makes me think of this. in my opinion it probably isn't just ODD--ODD is usually caused by another disorder that makes the child unhappy and behaviorally difficult. If he can't see a neuropsychologist (not the same as a neurologist) then I'd see a Developmental Pediatrician who can keep an eye on him. Did he have any developmental delays, problems with speech, eye contact problems? Did he potty on time? Does he have sensory issues? Does he like to memorize things? Can he recite parts of tv shows he watches? Does he sometimes seem like he's in his own head? Does he obsess over things? Does he rage when forced to transition from one activity to another? (This was a big one for my son). We're just moms here. Again, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. Good luck. Here's an online test for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). You may want to see if it fits your child: [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
