[QUOTE="see30, post: 104280, member: 4404"] i'm not a parent- i joined this website because i began a new job as an intensive case manager in philadelphia and most of the children on my caseload have O.D.D. and i wanted the parents' perspective as i'll be working with the whole family. i stumbled upon this website after 2 frustrating hours of trying to find concrete information about effective treatment for O.D.D. I figured that the best and most concrete information would likely be from the parents themselves, rather than the medical websites listing the diagnosis and definition of the disorder. I have four years of experience working with children with autism spectrum disorders and my only experience with O.D.D. has been with children who have been mis-diagnosed as having an A.S.D. ( i've worked primarily with pre-schoolers and mis-diagnosis is somewhat common among children that display language delays and behavioral issues) after reading your description of your son's behavior i just wanted to say that it does sound to me like he is on the spectrum and that these verbalizations may be caused by echolalia or that they may be verbal "stims". this assessment is purely anecdotal, i'm not a psychologist, psychiatrist or doctor but having worked with many children on the spectrum, i generally know one when i see them... or hear them for that matter. i'd suggest looking up echolalia or verbal stims online, see if the description fits and show it to the doctors who are doubting you [/QUOTE]
