[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 49855, member: 1550"] in my opinion, you should go to a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD) for a diagnosis. I agree 100% with Smallmom. You may also want to take a look at the links below. Your son has only been on ADHD medications. Perhaps he doesn't have ADHD/ODD/CD, but a mimicker. I would look into it. Here ya go. I strongly recommend reading about early onset bipolar and high functioning autism and go to somebody other than a counselor or pediatrician for a diagnosis. While you can test him for high tetostorone, it's most likely not that. I had a son who was into porn as a teen and he's a normal adult now--completely not obsessed with porn. Actually, both of my now grown adult boys used to stash nasty mags under their beds. Hyper-sexuality, however, is a common trait of early onset bipolar disorder or if the child was sexually abused without your knowledge (sadly, it happens). As long as he doesn't act out on another, I wouldn't worry too much. I'd definitely wonder if he had disorders that have been missed. ODD rarely stands alone. If you check the symptoms of other childhood disorders, I believe you'll see they fit as well. Almost all the kids here have ODD symptoms, however they HAVE the ODD symptoms because of larger disorders. Often mood stabilizers help because ODD is often co-morbid with serious mood disorders.
