[QUOTE="keista, post: 460367, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board! First, ARE YOU CRAZY???? Sorry, I think more appropriate for me to say is YOU ARE ONE VERY BRAVE MOM to take on homeschooling a child who doing homework with, was like "pulling teeth". Honestly, I think this might be why he's suddenly become so oppositional. He needs/wants to be out in the world. All sorts of interesting things to see and explore "out there" Following that stranger? in my opinion it was sheer curiosity. Sounds like something son would have done. I started teaching about stranger danger at 2 before he was fully verbal, because I knew he would be the kind of kid to just wander off with someone. So, getting to that ODD diagnosis. Yeah, he might be displaying ODD symptoms NOW but that's simply because he's getting increasingly frustrated by a world he doesn't understand, and a world he doesn't naturally fit into. ODD is the RESULT of whatever else is going on with him. I too see Autism Spectrum in your description. I also see a naturally charming kid. Despite his issues, the teachers and other students seem to be fond of him. This is a huge plus. My son has this gift as well. As far as AD[B]H[/B]D, to the best of my knowledge, hyperactivity is not selective of who it manifests itself in front of. It's an equal opportunity disorder. I could be wrong on this one, but that is the scope of my knowledge. [B]AND[/B] ADD and ADHD traits are VERY common on the Autism Spectrum. They can be co morbid disorders, or just traits. Welcome again. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
