[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 236523, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome :) Who diagnosed him? I'm asking because both ODD and CD are pretty much in my opinion (and the opinion of even many professionals) garbage diagnosis. They mean "I don't know what's wrong." I would never again see a professional who dxd. a chld under 18 with CD and frankly 13 is a bit old for ODD. I have a few questions that may help us help you. FIrst off, you may want to do a signature like I have below. 1/Who diagnosed him? If it's just the school district, I wouldn't trust it AT ALL. I wouldn't even trust anyone they sent you to if they paid for it. Unfortunately, ya gets what ya pays for. 2/Any psychiatric or substance abuse on either side of his family tree? Is there a chance he is dabbling in drugs or drinking? Is he on medication? Do you feel he is getting good treatment or do you feel they really don't know what is wrong with him. Has he ever seen a private NeuroPsychologist? I like them even more than Psychiatrists. Also...is there any history of bipolar in the family? Any chance that somebody HAD it, but failed to be diagnosed? 3/How was his early development and does he have adequate social skills with his same-age peers? If not, is he quirky? Others will come along. Glad you joined us, but sorry you had to. [/QUOTE]
