[QUOTE="Turningitover, post: 191777, member: 5859"] Hello all, I'm very glad I found this site. Nice to know I'm not alone, but sad to see so many struggling families. Our difficult child is a 10-year-old boy, diagnosed with ODD and treated by a Ph.d therapist. That's it. No drugs, no other conditions diagnosed, no hospitalizations, no police action. But it's enough, because everyday brings another nightmare, and every morning I wake up and wonder what's in store for us. We've been living with difficult child's extreme behaviors since he was around 5, and been in therapy for it for about 2-3 years. After reading many of the threads here, I can't help but wonder if there is more we should be doing. The therapist never suggests any testing or any causes or possibilities of comorbidity. Just the same behavior management, and we seem to be stagnating. And I fear worsening of behavior as he progresses toward adolescence. I don't want to create diagnoses, but I don't want to miss any possibilities of treatment. Any thoughts and suggestions would be welcome! [/QUOTE]
