[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 578046, member: 1550"] IC, she says he is not her biological child. If he is adopted, that brings up many other possible issues. If he was adopted, at what age? I would like to know more about your child. Did he have a chaotic early life? Was he maybe drug exposed? Have you ever had him evaluated by a neuropsychologist? If not, why not? I'm with Malika. If he wants his room with clothes on the floor, until I found out why he is doing it and what is wrong with him, I wouldn't fuss over it, especially since you and him are expending so much negative time over something that in my opinion isn't that important. He is only 7. He did not ask to be one of many children. You decided that for him. None of my children, even my neurotypical children, folded and put away laundry at that age. I understand that you are busy, but he is just a kid, and he does have issues, and perhaps they are more than ADHD. ODD...many of us here don't care for or believe the diagnosis...it really just means "defiance" but in no way does it explain WHY the child is defiant. Is there a biological or adoptive father in the house? Can he pitch in since you are so busy and have many children? Back to the possible adoption, if he was indeed adopted, a very early chaotic life, and perhaps a birthmother who abused drugs and alcohol, is going to g ive you a very complicated, difficult child who needs a lot of help. Also, DNA is huge, even if the child has never seen his bio. parents. He could have attachment problems or fetal alcohol issues...and most therapists know diddly about either one or how to help. Can you tell us more about your child? The more we know, the more we can help. Hugs and hoping to hear more! :) [/QUOTE]
