[QUOTE="mamabear01, post: 271907, member: 7387"] Thank you all so much for your help and advise so far. My gut says that it's more aspieness than ODD like the doctor who they (I have two aspies) have been getting cog behavior therapy for the last year. It just bugged me when another doctor (who he's getting testing with) so quickly stuck ODD on him within the first few hours of testing. Was he defiant? Yes, Was he out of control after an hour, yes, but thats not him normally. It seems to happen when he tests (which has been alot lately) and he does have extreme anxiety issues (as does mom lol) so I think it was the anxiety and tests that set it off because he couldn't handle so much input at once. Or because he was complaining of his hand hurting due to the writing, or hell it could of been the lighting for all we know. All of the testing by the way is for a qualification for an IEP which I have been fighting over for the last two years. It has to be done and I don't know what to do when we go back. Watching this behavior is very hard for me and I know he's suffereing. Anyway the reason I ask if they would show remorse, is when he went off into this "defiant" behavior and all I could here the doctor say was ODD, how do you parent, ect, I ended up having a panic attack right then and there. My son is very close to me and when he saw this happen he immedicatly changed his behavior back and said "it's okay it's okay mom I will finish, I promise" So then he did, but again after an hour he start up again and at least this time the doctor didn't push him and said he clearly can't take more than 2 hours of testing at a time. We will just work around this. But I am still bothered with this additional ODD, because after lurking a bit, reading about it, looking up the DSM 4, it clearly doesn't fit him. He doesn't argue with adults, he's not vindictive or spiteful. And the other things he might show are not often like it says so on the DSM. So anyway thanks, I feel much better now. LOL. I need to just listen to our regular doctor who specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). [/QUOTE]
