[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 174451, member: 1550"] ODD is not usually a "stand alone" diagnosis. To me it sounds like more than just ODD anyways. Did he have any speech delays or, on the other end, is he very precocious, maybe even already learning to read? Does he make good eye contact with strangers? Does he play normally with his toys or does he maybe line them up or have no interest in them? Does he seem "out of it?" I have no idea what is wrong, and think he needs to see a neuropsychologist (they are by far the most intensive evaluators), but he has some big BIG red flags for sensory issues and possible high functioning autistic spectrum disorder/Aspergers. Often these kids do NOT like being touched and do NOT cuddle. They are very frustrated and can rage up a storm. They desperately need interventions. Also, are there any mood disorders or substance abuse on the family tree? Nobody here can tell you how to manage your son. It depends on what is wrong with him, but something is going on. I suggest you get a referral to a neuropsychologist and, until you can get in, buy "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. But don't delay an evaluation. The earlier your child gets help, regardless of what is wrong, the better he will do in the longterm. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
