[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619167, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm sorry you had to join us, but welcome. Most of us here do not feel that ODD is a useful diagnosis. I'd want to find the cause of the child's behavior, but I'd probably lose any diagnostician who chalks it up to something as hodgepodge as ODD. ODD behavior is usually a consequence of a bigger, broader problem. Personally, to me it doesn't sound like a behavior problem. It sounds like some sort of chldhood disorder/differently wired brains and I don't think that behavior modification is going to help him in the long term. Most of us find that therapists who try behavior modification are ineffective. They only make us feel guilty for our parenting, and our children walk to the beat of a different drum and do not respond to normal theories of how to get a child to do what we'd like. The kids just don't respond to it, in general. I would not go that route with your little one. JMO. If this were my kid, I'd be taking him for a complete evaluation at a neuropsychologist and maybe also to an Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech therapist, even if his speech is fine. I'd also get his hearing tested...the works. I have no idea what is wrong with him, but Aspergers pops into my head. It could be something else. He is not just a kid doing typical things or having stages he will grow out of. I wish you the best and hope you do decide to change course, as it hasn't helped him, and take him to a neuropsychologist for intensive testing. I Are you in the US? Again, welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
