[QUOTE="Tretri, post: 738413, member: 23333"] Hi- I know this is from a long time ago, but you sound like you’re describing my 3 1/2 yr old son! I’m going through the exact same struggles, him terrorizing his little brother, being difficult in EVERY single situation- good or bad, the reflexive “no” and opposition to every single thing, negativity, non-stop chaos/mayhem, etc and it’s been since infancy. He’s gone through Occupational Therapist (OT) (he actually basically got kicked out because of his behavior and gaining no advantage because behavior was getting in the way of service), evaluations, etc and he does have sensory issues, but that is NOT the answer, just adds to it. Our pediatrician thinks he has ODD, also, but it’s been hard to find a psychologist that will take him. He’s SO difficult. Pediatrician just brought up Risperdal but it seems kind of scary with some of the side effects, then guanfacine. I’d love t talk to you, pick your brain, see how your son is this many years later, etc! Desperate Mom [/QUOTE]
