[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 184987, member: 1550"] I think he should have a neuropsychologist evaluation. Psychiatrists don't do the kind of testing they do and in my opinion it sounds like more than ADHD/ODD to me. A neuropsychologist doesn't just look at forms--he tests the child intensively for hours (ours was ten hours) in every possible area, giving him a good overview of the child and he can often find things that others miss. Some questions: Do you have any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of his family tree? How was his early development--speech, cuddling, eye contact with strangers, interaction with his peers, any sensitivities to light, sound, fabric, food? How does he transition from one activity to another? You may want to do a signature like I did below. This gives us a lot of info so that we can help you better. I agree that "The Explosive Child" is a good stop gap help until your child is correctly diagnosed (and so many of ours aren't) and finally stabilized. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
