[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 523183"] Sorry to burst your bubble but ODD does nothing and it certainly doesn't explain why he'd try to stab his teacher with a scissors. All ODD means is that the child displays oppositional and/or defiant behavior. Period. It does not tell you why. It's the WHY that means something. I would highly recommend you read the books The Explosive Child by Ross Greene as well as What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You by Dr. Doug Riley. Our kids have reasons for acting the way they do. It is our job, with the help of professionals if you can find good ones, to figure out what those reasons are. These two books will help you get on the right road. Do any of them have IEP's at school? If not, that should be priority 1. Second is to have both of his evaluated by a neuropsychologist. They do VERY comprehensive evaluations that are much more informative and "usually" more accurate. Did the psychiatric hospital put him on any medications? As for your son, he's probably just mimicking what he's seeing. I know that doesn't make it any easier but if there were no problems before, my guess is this is learned behavior. Welcome to our little corner of the world. Sorry you had to find us but so glad you did! Stick around and you won't regret it. [/QUOTE]
