[QUOTE="SRL, post: 21826, member: 701"] Welcome, Myah. I'm glad that you found us. We've all been there, done that with much of what you are dealing with. Do pick up a copy of The Explosive Child and in the meantime read the thread about adapting it to young children. Many of us do have good success with it. Technically ODD is a diagnosis but around here we see ODD as a symptom of underlying neurological issues. If your child seems to fit the description you want to keep digging and keep working with knowledgable professionals until you find the answers. I agree with MM--speech delays, motor delays and behavioral issues would raise a red flag to look into Autism. Very bright borderline children are often missed by the doctors--it's usually the child's parents, teachers, or other parents who make that discovery or sond that alarm. Of course, if the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s don't seem to fit, do keep up your search for answers. Going back from birth to present, how would you answer these questions? 2) Does/did the child a. Favor objects for play that arent typically used as toys by their peers (such as wheels, sticks, magnet letters, etc.)? b. Seem fascinated or obsessed by objects/topics that arent typical for kids of their age (such as numbers, the alphabet, words, math, geography, mechanical things such as air conditioners or vacuum cleaners, things with motors, etc)? c. Play differently with toys or household objects (such as spin them, line them up in straight lines, set them up in formations, etc.)? d. Exhibit weak or unusual pretend play skills such as -act out memorized scenes from books/films/TV/DVD instead of creating situations and dialogue -move toy trains around but not pretend to be the engineer, go places or pick up passengers -arrange pretend people or action figures but not create imaginary situations with them or have them interact with each other, etc.? e. Display behaviors and/or routines that seem unusual or quirky? [/QUOTE]
