[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478127, member: 12886"] So sorry for the heart breaking results. I agree too that you have now, a huge chance to make great progress. After going through this for years now, and being on teams with kids who get many diagnosis over the years, I would not get too excited about the conduct disorder diagnosis especially. For one thing, (and i am not a psychiatric. so this is just mho and experience) I wonder about its validity given the presence of another medical diagnosis that can account for the behavior...i remembered something I copied from ODD when someone asked me about it for my son: I was told the same for my son who has autism and ABI. Not sure how different conduct disorder technically by the dsm manual but still, in real life, I would suspect the same as jjj, you will likely see some of those behaviors go down once appropriate expectations and teaching methods are implemented in his life. I would hope this will get you supportive programming at home. That may be a benefit of the added diagnosis of conduct disorder, because the cost to society of a child who is out of control would be far more expensive than to support him in your home. So for now, use it to your advantage but maybe not so much think of it as who your child is...just a reflection of the circumstances I am suspecting/hoping. (I have seen many kids misdiagnosed with behavior disorders, ending up with mental health, cogniive, and other challenges which more readily accounted for the behaviors) I think the auditory program that was meantioned (I have used it for students and have the home version for my son) is earobics. It IS wonderful Very easy to use. He should be able to receive lots of therapy now that you have this info. Gentle hugs and support going out to you. He is still your same lovely child, you just have more information about how he learns and functions. luv, buddy [/QUOTE]
