[QUOTE="goinnutz, post: 33297, member: 3622"] Hi. I am new to this whole thing. My son (who will be 6 in 2 weeks) hasn't even been diagnosed yet - with anything! It's been a long, slow road - we are still trying to find a decent Dr. for him and the closest one will be 3 hours away and having insurance issues.........anyway that's not the point. What I want to know from you experienced moms and dads is (just your opinion) if my son sounds like a child with ODD. My personal diagnoses is ADHD/ODD. Anyway here's just an example of the behavior that has us at the end of our rope: He is mean! He has physically attacked me more than once. And it's always over something small but, it turns into a huge argument because I'm convinced he likes to argue, get us upset and see our reaction. It's almost like a game for him!
