[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 214415, member: 3907"] Hello 627666 and welcome! I too would be very nervous about a diagnosis of CD at your son's age. Getting the right diagnosis can be a long, hard road, but is is essential in getting the right sort of treatments and interventions in place. Lots of us started down the path with a diagnosis of ADHD/ODD for our difficult child children, and had to start teasing apart the tangled threads from there. A lot of other disorders can display lookalike symptoms. For example, ODD is often a symptom of a child who doesn't have the right sort of interventions in place. Bipolar mania can look just like ADHD, and ADHD is often co-morbid with Autism Spectrum Disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)). Even if your son's initial evaluation was done by a neuropsychologist, it might be time for another one if the first one was done years ago. So glad you found us, but very sorry that you had to. Sending many gentle {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Trinity [/QUOTE]
