[QUOTE="kris, post: 49905, member: 74"] W[I]elcome. while i understand your concerns about his interest in pornography he's right on target developmentally. this is the age where they become fascinated with-sex. today they have far more access to porn than past generations & access to more hard core nastiness than ever before due to the internet. i'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned, you should. i'm just saying it's fairly normal. is your computer password protected? i agree with-the others that a new neuropsychologist evaluation & treatment by a child/adolescent psychiatrist rather than a pediatrician is in order. peds just don't have the experience or in~depth knowledge to handle the issues you're dealing with. ODD does not necessarily lead to conduct disorder...tho it can if underlying issue are left untreated. ODD more often than not functions as a symptom of things like bipolar, depression & other disorders. the ODD behaviors often diminish greatly once the co morbid condition is treated. even if you have to go out of state look for a children's hospital or one connected with-a university. you can get all necessary evaluation done in hospitals like this. they also tend to take a broader spectrum of insurances. have you tried you community mental health folks to find a psychiatrist for your son? they should be able to also provide some treatment options for you. even if they don't take your insurance they work on a sliding scale fee so the costs are not prohibitive. kris[/I] [/QUOTE]
