[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 376337, member: 1233"] There is a LOT of info on the archives and older posts about ADD. Very very few of us believe it has any usefulness as a diagnosis. Try reading Ross Greene's The Explosive Child and check out the various Love and Logic books at [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL]. Dr. Doug Riley's What your explosive child is trying to tell you is another hugely helpful book for many of us. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety based/related/driven disorder, FYI. You may want to check into sensory integration disorder - many kids with anxiety issues have sensory issues. Look for The out of symc child and the out of sync child has fun - Im having finger problems today so caps are hard, sorry. if one of my kids had such a strong reaction to someone that they wouldn't talk to them for seven mos i would start wondering what they were picking up that I couldn't. Never would have said it but my daughter despised a psychiatrist and we moved her to another one because she rarely reacts like that and had never been alone with-the guy. A couple years later he skipped town the night before he was to turn himself in for sex abuse charges and embezzlement and medicaid fraud. I felt blessed my daughter picked up on it and we changed. The practice was BIG and BUSY and the patients in the waiting room I spoke with/saw did not seem any different than in any other psychiatrist waiting room. Your son may be unusually stubborn or he may have just sensed something that really bothered him, or maybe he thought you would stop dragging him to these appts if he just didn't talk. He CAN learn and grow past that point. [/QUOTE]
