[QUOTE="adunn03, post: 577945, member: 15908"] I am new here and I am hoping for some suggestions. My son is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. They are also wanting to evaluate him for aspergers. I am at a loss at to what to do with him. It seems like everyday is a challenge and just the smallest issue can set him off and ruin the entire day for the entire family. We adopted him 5 years ago along with his older sister and younger sister. We just recently had our first biological child....so with four kids my life is pretty hectic! I can ask my son to do something simple like put away his laundry ( I break it down and ask him to put away his socks, then his pajamas, then his shirts...) every day he will take his laundry and walk in his room and throw it. He refuses to put it away. When asked why he says he doesn't like that rule so he isn't going to follow it. I have tried taking his clothes from his room and not letting him pick out his clothes, I have taken away fun activities, I have given time outs, I have tried rewarding him when he does it but nothing I do works for him. He is very aggressive and mean when he doesn't get his way. He lies all the time about everything and anything. He will make up huge elaborate stories with a lot of detail and it is all a big lie. I have no idea what to do. I am willing to hear any advice you might have! [/QUOTE]
