[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 492553, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome to the board. I would have him re-evaluated and I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. in my opinion and experience I feel they are the best diagnosticians. I think more is going on than ADHD and ODD is not a useful diagnosis. Many of us here just think it is a diagnosis given when the doctor is saying "I don't know." How were his developmental milestones, such as eye contact, speech, imaginary play and motor skills? Does he take toys apart rather than playing with them (except for videogames)...lol. Can he transition from one activity to another without raging? Does he ever copy what he watches on TV or what you say? Any strange quirks? Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of his genetic family tree? Any mood disorders, thought disorders, violence or suicide attempts? Any "funny" aunts or uncles? Is anyone diagnosed with autism or Aspergers? I agree that holding Brownie back a year won't help. in my opinion he has something going on and holding him back is not going to change that. He needs extra help and interventions and he may need medication, but that depends on what is wrong with him. You will probably also have to alter your parenting technique. Normal parenting normally does not work well with our kids and just causes us to live in chaos. I recommend buying "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. But I'd still take her to a neuropsychologist. I'm glad you found us and please keep us updated. We will try to help. [/QUOTE]
