[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 418809"] To me it sounds like he's more than a little bit Aspie. Those are the same issues my son has and the Asperger's actually replaced the ODD diagnosis. Once we started looking at things "through his Aspie eyes" and figured out where those issues came into play, we were better able to change some things to fit him. Things like having information presented in ways he understood and interested him (in my case, more work done using a computer) works great. He may not see the relavance of work to HIM or the importance of it. He may not try difficult things because it's something he doesn't fully understand. Aspie's don't see the other person's point of view or how their actions affect others. They also have a problem changing mind set meaning once he gets an idea in his head, he has a REALLY hard time changing it. Sorry I can't offer any suggestions about services. In my case, we are working on getting 1:1 help to help explain things to difficult child in a way he understands so he can do the work he is more than capable of doing and to "teach" him social skills he is lacking throughout the day instead of in a classroom with limited real life situations. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
