[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675388, member: 1550"] My son was also diagnosed as ADHD and ODD (I don't think ODD is a useful diagnosis...sort of means "bad behavior and I don't know why.") There is no treatment for it. My son is actually not ADHD, but on the autism spectrum and has gotten good interventions and supports and is now a very high functioning and self-sufficient autistic young man of twenty-two. If we'd run with our first diagnosis., he'd be a mess on stimulants, which made him crazy, and he would not keep doing better and better every day and making friends nor being beloved by everyone in the community. His behavior was horrid as a toddler. Seriously, as a young adult, he has almost no temper at all (he used to rage as a young 'un) and seems to be very happy with life (he had bounced from an ADHD to bipolar diagnosis, but clearly the bipolar diagnosis was incorrect. medications made him worse. He is medication free, working, and living along, something we'd never thought possible when he was your son's age. Without medications, he has zero moodswings. He is so easygoing my youngest child, who never had any diagnosis. like him, has said, "Wish I were as even tempered as my brother!" The medications themselves made my son seem moody and bipolar. I'm angry at all the years he spent on heavy duty medications...be careful about your health care professionals. Do your own research too. It helps! Never stop looking for the truth and get second and third opinions. [/QUOTE]
