[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 43786, member: 1550"] I've had bad experiences with "professionals" giving my son the wrong diagnosis. ODD is "iffy" and rarely stands alone. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? They do intensive testing, unlike any other professionals. Has he maybe been assessed for high functioning autism/Aspergers? He's got some red flags for that and certainly these kids seem ODD--in fact, they are very bright, confused, out-of-sync kids who need special help that you don't get in Day Treatment, since it's not a psychiatric problem. I'd see a neuropsychologist before I did anything. Our son had two wrong diagnosis. and it delayed him getting the right type of treatment. The medications he's on could actually make him worse, if he is misdiagnosed. I'd want another opinion and a lot more testing. He's still really young and often kids are misdiagnosed until the teen years and beyond--I'd sort of want to know exactly why this will help. [/QUOTE]
