[QUOTE="alphabetsoup, post: 569250, member: 15693"] His pediatrician diagnosis'ed ADHD/ODD. He had a psychiatric evaluation with his psychotherapist when he was 7, shortly after the ADHD/ODD diagnosis, and she added EDD/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. She said his intelligence came out normal, which she was surprised at, because she expected it to be higher based off of her conversations with him. I'm going to ask on Thursday for a new complete evaluation. Honestly, this was an insanely tiny, rural town, and our choices were limited, and I was less than impressed with her, anyway. As a baby, he was difficult. His birth was difficult (he was a 36 weeker, and the medical staff at the hospital decided I wasn't going fast enough, so they did a pit-to-distress), his infancy was difficult, he just did things with a million times more intensity. He was colicky, he wanted to be held all of the time, but holding him seemed to set him off, too. He was whiney as a small child... he's just been our difficult one. He has extremes. When he's good, he's REALLY REALLY good. Like insanely good--compassionate, caring, funny, the perfect kid! But when he's not, oh my goodness. It's like the gates of hell opened and released a demon into our house. For a while, I was honestly convinced this child was possessed. [/QUOTE]
