[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589831, member: 1550"] Hi. So sorry you are having problems. I am guessing he had a very chaotic infancy and toddlerhood and if so he could have attachment disorder, which is very common with kids who had no stability in their first three years. Also, if bio. mom took drugs or drank while pregnant, that could cause behavior problems, learning problems and more. I recommend getting him a complete evaluation that covers all areas of his development. This board is not much of a fan of the diagnosis of ODD. It is very unhelpful with no treatment and is usually caused by a bigger umbrella issue, such as reactive attachment disorder, autistic spectrum, ADHD, fetal alcohol problems, almost anything. In of itself, ODD just means the child is defiant and difficult, but it does not explain the reason for it nor does it offer any good solutions. I would skip the ODD and look for bigger issues, ESPECIALLY if he had crazy very early years and drug exposure in utero. Those can cause real problems and require different sorts of treatment. You're a good grandma to take him in. Gentle hugs. [/QUOTE]
