[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 130769, member: 1550"] Sign me up for the neuropsychologist. A CD diagnosis for a five year old is beyond ridiculous. A neuropsychologist does all sorts of intensive testing. My son had twelve hours of it. I seriously doubt a competent professional would give you that diagnosis. There are bad apples everywhere. ODD rarely stands alone so it's worth the trouble of getting a neuropsychologist evaluation. You can find NeuroPsychs at university hospitals and children's hospitals here in the States. Second best is a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD), but they don't do the types of evaluating that NeuroPsychs do and I personally have had a worse time with Psychiatrists than NeuroPsychs. Since I have bipolar and my son has high functioning autism, I've had lots of experience with different professionals and wrong diagnosis. and I do recommend NeuroPsychs first. I wish you tons of luck with your little guy. There is help...and hope. And, of course, we're always here for you to "talk" to. [/QUOTE]
