[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429842, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome... You might want to set up a signature... it appears at the bottom of your posts, and tells everyone else a brief reminder of your situation... Meanwhile - the familiar "faces" around here are going to want to know some specific details, like... - who did the diagnoses (diagnosis) and when - have medications been tried, if so what effect - has school done any testing, and if so, results There may be several things going on at once... If his ADHD is not well managed or well understood (there's lots of variation in needs!), there can be lots of fall-out. Often, ODD is the result of "something else" - which in this case may "just" be the ADHD, or there may be other things not diagnosed yet... from learning disabilities, to other developmental or mental issues (you raised bipolar, for one - there's many others). You might want to go to site resources... first, there's a good "recommended book" list... second, there's info on starting a "parent report" - worth doing. Keep an eye out for others jumping in on this post! Hang in there...! [/QUOTE]
