[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 161636, member: 2423"] Welcome! Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us help you. Has your son been evaluated by a pediatric gastroenterologist to rule out physical causes for the encopresis? Does he have any sensory issues (for example, sensitivity to clothing tags or food textures)? Any speech or developmental delays? How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? Any mental health issues or substance abuse in the family tree (in addition to your postpartum depression)? How are his allergies being treated? Many of us here feel that ODD doesn't stand alone but is more a symptom of something else that's going on neurologically or psychologically so it's important to dig deeper (for example, encopresis and oppositional behaviors can emanate from anxiety). Because your son has some physical issues, you might want to seek a multidisciplinary evaluation at a children's or university teaching hospital. Other options for evaluations include a developmental pediatrician or a pediatric neuropsychologist. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
