[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 323659, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. ODD doesn't normally stand alone and he's sort of old for an ODD diagnosis. Has he ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? Has he had problems all of his life or are they new? Do you have any psychiatric problems on either side of this child's biological family tree? Any substance abuse? How was this child's early development and does he know how to socialize appropriately? Did he speak on time? Is this a blended family? If so, how is this affecting him. Have you thought about drug use? If he is failing school there has to be a reason. Kids don't decide to flunk school. Either they can't do the work maybe due to learning disabilities, which need a diagnosis, or they are having psychiatric problems or neurological issues. Many of us feel that NeuroPsychs are the best diagnosticians and I highly recommend taking him to see one. They do 6-10 hours of intensive testing in all areas. They are psychologists with special training in the brain. Your son won't have to "talk" to him as in a therapeutic setting. Therapy probably isn't the answer for your son anyway, at least not by itself. Others will come along. It would help if you gave us more background. We really don't know anything about him other than how he is acting right now so that makes it harder to give direction. [/QUOTE]
