[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 125079, member: 4518"] Hi My stepson is 15.5 years old and has evolved with ADHD and Oppositional Defiance Disorder to ADHD and Conduct Disorder. ODD usually changes to CD in adolescent years (or at least is referred to as such by the pro's). Has your son received an official, professional diagnosis? If so, these types of disorders usually run in comorbidity (meaning they do not travel alone - usually in pairs). Is there a diagnosis of any other disorder that is combined with the ODD or CD? What is the behaviour being exhibited by your son? As an example, in our case, my stepson - is rude, disrespectful and refuses to adhere to family rules - has been suspended from school eight times since October 2007 - has been physically violent with his sisters and brother - has been caught participating (albeit as a "spectator") with a group of kids who were torturing wild animals - cycles through various types of behaviour - mostly the non-collaborative type. He has been officially diagnosed with CD and is currently being re-evaluated by a neuro-psychologist. If there is any kind of this type of information that you could offer in your reply, it would really help the Group to offer you some experience and/or advice. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
