[QUOTE="cmfout, post: 440392"] My difficult child does exactly the same thing. His only "real" diagnosis is ODD, but there's more going on with him than just that. My ex was extremely abusive to my kids and I'm sure some of that wore off on Jacob. I'm also just as sure that he has PTSD - I think all of my boys and I have it due to their father. The rages are just a part of the whole, and ODD is rarely the whole story. I've found that for Jacob, the only thing that helps him to get himself under control is to allow him something to beat up on. He has a good punching bag hung in the corner of his room. Now, when he feels a meltdown coming on, he goes in and beats on his bag until he's ready to talk to me. That bag has been a sanity saver for both of us! [/QUOTE]
