[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608758, member: 1550"] Just to repeat: a neurologist can test him for seizures, but won't be able to diagnose any childhood disorders and won't do the right kind of testing THAT WILL GET HIM HELP (which is the key). Not sure why you can't get in to see a neuropsychologist. An Odd label, at least if you live in the US, won't get your child any help. It will just get him a bad reputation and most likely you will unlikely be seen as a bad mom, which you aren't. Your son was born like this. You didn't cause it. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of those diagnoses that usually accompanies another one and does not stand alone. It is actually a f orm of anxiety, which also does not normally stand by itself. In fact, most kids are complex and rarely do our kids have one diagnosis. A neuropsychologist can give you the big picture though and give you something to hang your hat on that will get your child help. A neurologist, not so much. I wish you luck. This is hard. I know. I went through it. Getting the right diagnosis. is difficult. Please do not try to diagnose him yourself though. You are too emotionally involved. Certainly he has ODD as part of the problem, but I'm sure you will find that it is not the main problem. Something else is fueling it. It is not his fault nor yours. Hugs!!! All [/QUOTE]
