[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 68878, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DDD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What do the experts in his program have to say? DDD </div></div> Talked to them yesterday. They said that the intake workup done was much more extensive than even a normal psychiatric workup done by most docs. It didn't indicate anything other than severe ADD (without the Hyperactivity). However, they also said that we didn't tell them about the episodes when he was very young. I'm supposed to summarize his early childhood stuff and send it to them for consideration. First thoughts from them, though, are that ADD can still present this way. I've just never heard of it causing cyclic behavior swings like we're seeing, regardless of what the behavior is. I also emailed a doctor last night who's the head of a pediatric psychiatric department at a respected hospital and posed the general question of whether or not something like ODD can occur during early childhood, then disappear for a number of years, and then reappear. He replied "yes it can. Depression is a good example of something that can occur - and then reoccur - periodically throughout life". Guess I have to give the docs more info. Still seems like a weird mutant form of ADD, if that's what it is. Guess we'll find out. Mikey [/QUOTE]
