[QUOTE="nvts, post: 348601, member: 3814"] Hey Ginger! The reason I was asking those questions (and I apologize if I was being intrusive!), is that I had the IDENTICAL issues with my kids. I lost count on how many preschools, private schools, public schools, etc. that they were in - it was a nightmare! It turns out that they're all on the autistic spectrum with a condition called Aspergers Syndrome. It's way high on the spectrum, but 2 out of three of them started out with the same diagnosis that you were given (adhd combo + ODD). I would consider some outside testing whether it be multidiscipline or a neuropsychologist evaluation. You can usually get them done at a teaching or Children's Hospital. It usually has a very long waiting list (I always ask to be called if there's a cancellation!) but is really worth its weight in gold. I have to tell you, I'm not a doctor, I can't tell you what's definately wrong, but I think it would be worth investigating - he sounds like a really great kid - and when you can get a handle on things nice and early, he can do just about anything! Don't lose heart - that's what all of us come here for! If you need support or a shoulder to cry on OR you need a good laugh (you have to make sure to visit the Watercooler forum - that's where we take care of US!), we are here for one another! Gotta go - I still haven't started the corned beef and difficult child 1 just got told they're switching para's on him and he's heart broken! Later! Beth [/QUOTE]
