[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 348611, member: 1550"] in my opinion the labels you got, especially CD for a young child plus the ODD, are not very useful. If you live in the US, a good evaluator won't give a young child a CD diagnosis. plus ODD is pretty unhelpful and it sounds to me like he has symptoms that could put him on the autism spectrum, high functioning. I don't know if it's true, but it sure sounds like it. I would take him to a neuropsychologist for a fresh evaluation. School evaluations are pretty useless most of the time. I would not let things stand as they are. He will not improve if they are trying to treat ADHD and CD, which is supposed to be for over 18, if he has something else, like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It's a long road getting the correct diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
