[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 511799, member: 11791"] Jim, I hear your frustration. But... there is history behind that. I'm guessing he does not have an official diagnosis of either ODD or CD. The ADHD diagnosis... who did that? when? (diagnosis = diagnosis... we get tired of typing it out all the time) From your background, I can see where you would be negative on medications. Yet... if your son needed insulin, would you feel the same way? There is a MAJOR challenge with medications: The magic potion for one person, is poison for the next person. Literally. Because... if medications are necessary, the "right" medication depends on the individual's body and brain chemistry. Wrong medications are often worse than no medications. But... no medications may not be the answer either. Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation, such as a neuropsychologist? What was he like his first years at school? Is this your biological son, or was he adopted? If adopted, at what age? prenatal history? (maternal drug use etc...) [/QUOTE]
