[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 475124, member: 8045"] My son was exactly the same.....at first they diagnosed him with ODD.....but later they changed it to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)...more like AS. This made a HUGE difference....I still think he can be a bit oppositianal at times.....but the motive now is more autism like, for example....struggles to move from one activity to another, doesnt like changes, literal thinking and problem reading social nuances....all these mentioned and more causes the tantrums, building up to meltdowns. Since we now understands more what activates or causes the tantrums, its easier to prevent it from happening. The psychiatrist explained to us that this is exactly the pattern, you are correct...no child wants to be so rude and ugly with his parents.....they want the parents love and affection...the tantrums is mostly neurological and cant be helped by the child....so after the bad behavior they feel guilty(good thing....because it means less likely conduct dysorder), and then they want to make up for it....this part about feeling guilty is that caused my sons terrible feelings of depression, anxiety and fear of being rejected!!!!! Since he was put on antidepressants his anxiety is so much better and he can control his outbursts much better.......Dr Greens book on handling the explosive child made a huge difference in our lives.....I would strongly reccoment it, because there you realize not to take this verbal abuse personal....in such situations, ignore eye contact......and later discuss alternatives.
