[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 236830, member: 1550"] Welcome, Suellen. Glad you're here. Sorry you had to join us though :frowny:. Why don't you tell us more about your son's history? ODD is kind of a throwaway diagnosis--and it doesn't stand alone. If that's what your therapist came up with, I would get a much more intensive evaluation because ODD doesn't mean a whole lot and won't help a whole lot either. You need to know WHY he is behaving in an ODD fashion. Often after you treat the bigger problem, the ODD goes away. That happened here. Tell us all about his early development: any speech delays, quirks, any problems relating to his same-age peers, problems making eye contact, trouble with sensory issues, is he socially or life skill clueless? How does he do in school? Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse issues on either side of the family tree? You may want to do a signature like I did below. We would love to give our mommy input into how to help you. We have a lot of smart people here. I think you can get help for him and probably not have to send him away at such a young age. He hasn't really been evaluated yet by the best and brightest (NeuroPsychs and/or Child Psychiatrists). Take a deep breath and calm down. There is hope. [/QUOTE]
