Hey everyone ! This is my first post . I came across this site while doing research and Im happy I found it because I need some advice . My son Hunter is 6 years old and his behavior lately has just gotten out of control . He was diagnosed at 2.5 years old with ADHD and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/not otherwise specified . But today at the pediatrician she mentioned ODD and Conduct disorder but didnt diagnose him , we will be going back to the developmental pediatrician which his pediatrician is calling to get us in ASAP! A little bit about Hunter . Hunter was put on medications at a very young age due to the fact that he was hurting and endangering himself ..for example . Pulled a easy child monitor down on him and broke his collarbone . Pulled boiling water I boiled for homemade tea down on him . Has made TVs fall and almost hit him . Would dart right into traffic if I let him . He is VERY impulsive . He does NOT think prior to doing anything . He is VERY destructive of property including his own things . I mean he destroys everything he touches and does not seem to care . He is very aggressive towards me and other children as well including his sister . Very very defiant . Its like I am not even standing there saying no Hunter dont do it ... or whatever it is that is happening . Last week he was up apparently in middle of the night and took 18 eggs from fridge and cracked them all in his room ..EVERYWHERE . These r things he does all the time . I dont understand and I dont know what to do . I am looking into parent management training . Tomorrow I am getting into Behavior therapy other then what the school offers .I am starting behavior charts this week as well . The other thing that is huge with him . He is always popping in his underware and doesnt care if he stays in it . I am told its a control issue ..... well moms and dads what do you think ? Conduct disorder ? ODD ? There is so much more to his behavior but this is enough to understand him I think ... any questions feel free to ask . Oh he takes Concerta ..
