[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 297143, member: 1550"] I would take him to a neuropsychologist for an evaluation. I'm not in the mood to type that much...lol...but most of us here don't believe that ODD is a helpful or stand alone diagnosis. Something else usually goes along with it, and you really need a neuropsychologist evaluation to see what it may be (and at his age, you can get some really good early interventions). I think exploding every three days is A LOT. We all have our own perspective based on our experiences...lol. Most kids don't explode at all. I would definitely start th evaluation wagon moving, and a pediatrician or the school district alone will probably not be of much help. Also, therapists often don't really get it. They tell us to do behavioral modification and most of our kids are wired differently and don't respond to typical behavioral therapy, such as charts, rewards, or time outs (some won't even go into time outs). Besides, he's not "bad"...he has something going on that makes him different, lower in frustration, more impulsive, etc. It's best to find out what. Does he have any speech or social delays or sensory issues? Any psychiatric problems on either side of your son's family tree? Substance abuse? These are all clues. The earlier you are pushed in the right direction, the better the prognosis and the sooner your life can get better. Welcome to the board :happy: [/QUOTE]
