[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 523179, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. You're not alone. I don't have experience with your situation ... but there certainly others on the board with experiences like yours... step kids or adopted kids, early caregiver issues... and extreme behavior. Do you know if mental health problems or other diagnoses run in the bio-mom's family? or in your husband's side? Ca you tell us more about their early years, if you know any details? Many of us on this board - I've seen a handful of exceptions but not many - have kids who ended up with the ODD label. Except that, as a diagnosis, it's useless. It does document problem behavior, and in that sense it works as a placeholder, but... there are no interventions, accommodations, or medications for ODD. Instead... there is usually something more going on. The challenge is to find out what those things are. What kind of evaluations have these boys had, and who did the evaluations? [/QUOTE]
