[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 167255, member: 1550"] This is to LostthePlot. Your son also sounds like far more than ODD. I really think you also should take your son in for a neuropsychologist exam. The extremity of the behavior is over the limit for ADHD/ODD and in my opinion he needs a more intensive evaluation. ODD rarely stands alone. Most kids with bipolar, many with autistic spectrum and various other disorders all manifest as ODD behavior, but it can and does get better or go away with the right treatment. If a child is so violent that you or the sibs are afraid, it's time to move on and look for another cause beyond what has already been found. Any therapist who diagnosed a seven year old with CD would make me head for the hills. CD is usually untreated mental illness and is rarely dxd. for children under 18. Something is very "off" there too, and I'd want to know what. If you have psychiatric problems, especially mood disorders and/or substance abuse in the family tree, a serious mood disorder has to be considered. If there were developmental delays/serious social issues you also have to consider possible Aspergers or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I strongly recommend getting away from the "CD" man and moving on to somebody who will give you a more productive diagnosis and more productive help. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
