[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 263400, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. If you please, it would help us A LOT if you did a signature like I did below. It gives us an overview of your family. I have a few questions that may be able to help us help you. ODD rarely stands by itself as a diagnosis and therapists, unfortunately, aren't very thorough or even good diagnosticians. 1/Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse issues on either side of your child's biological family tree? Often certain disorders are inherited and in child they show differently than in adults. 2/Here comes the developmental issues: Did he have any delays in speech? How was his early cuddling and eye contact both with you and strangers? Does he understand how to interact with kids his age (I know he's young, but kids DO interact young). Can he transition from one activity to another without ragings? Is he sensitive to light, noise, certain textures, certain materials, too much stimulation? Does he have an odd behaviors such as lining toys or flapping his arms or smacking his lips or making high pitched throat noises that are annoying to you? Does he ever seem like he's in his own little world then, at other times, seem very "with it." Does he respond to traditional discipine? I think he should have an intensive evaluation. He's old enough. I prefer NeuroPsychs. They test for all areas and tend to nail things better than other professionals. Something is going on and it's not that he wakes up every day to make you miserable and it's NOT NOT NOT your parenting. He's wired differently and you need to dig up the mystery of what is wrong. Glad you found us. Lots of nice people here. [/QUOTE]
