[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 211249, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. You have a lot of company. You may want to purchase the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. I'm going to ask a few questions that will help us help you. First of all, I'd say the majority of us do not believe that ODD travels alone. With your history of bipolar disorder, I think you need to keep an eye on your child for possible early onset bipolar, which has a large ODD component and can look a lot like uber-ADHD too. I have a link for early onset bipolar if you want to check it out. I also have an online test for autistic spectrum disorder. whenever there is a speech delay and defiance it is a good idea to look into that even if a therapist may have missed it (which is common). Frankly, from my own experience with my son, your child sounds a lot like he may be on the spectrum. [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) test) I don't know what type of professional you've seen so far, but I recommend a neuropsychologist. They do far more intensive evaluations than even psychiatrists and are much more thorough than any sort of therapist. They pick up things that others miss. You found great people who want to help you. [/QUOTE]
