[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 176471, member: 1514"] How confident are you with your sons ADD/ODD diagnosis? The reason I ask that is because the behaviors that you have posted about on the board really dont sound much like ADD stuff...and while they could be some ODD...he could have slipped over into CD. If he is CD, then he needs to be treated in a different way than if it were ADD causing all this. Its my opinion that kids with CD need to be treated with very structured behavioral modification. In all aspects of their lives. This is one area I think we messed up on with my son. I think we all fell into the trap of coddling him thinking he was bipolar and "couldnt help it" and so we let him slide on stuff and now everyone is paying...mostly him. I think if we had correctly diagnosed him with CD along with the bipolar back when he was a teen and clearly showing the signs...then maybe he could have received the appropriate treatment, including punishment, and maybe we could have saved him from heading into Antisocial Personality Disorder as an adult.
