[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 494456, member: 11791"] Ditto TeDo... ODD is a very "odd" diagnosis, in that it really does not tell you much, other than to describe the behavior. It is semi-useful as a "place-holder" diagnosis... as in, "we don't know what is wrong, but there is [I]something[/I] going on", and the search continues. It gives no clues as to cause, interventions, accommodations, medications... So... Can you tell us a bit more about his early childhood? milestones, general health, socialization.. When did the behavior get so extreme? or was it always this way and he's just getting older and stronger? For so many of us around here... the first necessity was a comprehensive evaluation - there are several options, but its going to be either one person like a neuropsychologist, OR a team with multiple specialties. And even at that, you usually need to add Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) to the mix. [/QUOTE]
