[QUOTE="nvts, post: 412212, member: 3814"] Hi Gwen! Welcome to the crowd - it's a great group here - lots of experience and lots of shoulders to lean on. Has he had a full neuropsychologist done? I would highly recommend one. It's a bunch of testing done that will direct you toward a diagnosis. Many of us on here consider an ADHD/ODD diagnosis to be more symptomology rather than a pure diagnosis. There could be a million things pushing him toward his behaviors that even HE can't identify, so the testing would "unmuddy" the waters a little. How was his early development? Is there mental illness/drug abuse (bio mom during pregnancy?) Ever notice any type of over-reaction to sensory based stimuli (I call it "itchy tag" syndrome) you know, when you have to cut the tags out of their shirts, certain textures, sounds, etc.? Has he been tested by an allergist (a lot of these problems can stem from food allergies)? Is he an authority on any certain subject? Sorry for all the probing questions, but they'll help us help you head down the right direction. Have you read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene? There are some good suggestions in there...and it's a light read so you're not stuck with a bunch of buzz words! Again, welcome to the crowd - Beth [/QUOTE]
