[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 72198, member: 1550"] I think it's best to see a neuropsychologist. You won't get an absolutely correct answer because of his young age, but you can get some really good guidance as to weaknesses and strengths and possibilities that can point you in the right direction for help. in my opinion it sounds way over the top for ADHD/ODD. Whether you want to medicate him or not is your choice after somebody evaluates him completely. I've learned to be cautious and to get second and third opinions because so many people were wrong about my son. I personally think his reaction is way over the top for just anxiety disorder, which I have. My oldest son has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and some Asperger symptoms, and he was always an anxious kid and refused to throw anything away, but he didn't throw tantrums or get violent. Your son is way complicated and early intervention is always a good thing. Does he have a developmental delays or strange behaviors with other people? If it were my child, I'd schedule a neuropsychologist appointment at a university or children's hospital and I may throw in a Multi-DIsciplinary Evaluation (I've learned to be very thorough). I woudn't trust a regular psycologist to make a diagnosis. I have bipolar and my son is on the autism spectrum and we had terrible luck with them (also with plain counselors and therapists). I'd also want to involve the school distrist--they may be able to help with early intervention. If he is in Early Education, that also gives you a break and it's free, through the school district and was VERY helpful for my kid. You really do need a more professional evaluation than just a psycologists's observation. And we're just parents with our own opinions, but we don't have any ability either to tell you what's wrong and we don't know what to do. I do recommend reading "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, but I'd still get that complete evaluation ASAP. Others will drop by [img]:smile:[/img] Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
