[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 88205, member: 1550"] I wouldn't trust a pediatrician to diagnose or decide on medication. ODD and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) are both diagnoses that usually tag along with other disorders and I doubt if you have the whole picture. I'd take your child to a neuropsychologist. They do more intensive testing than either Psychiatrists or regular Psycologists. My son had twelve hours of testing, and, boy, was it helpful! It turns out my son is on the autism spectrum and doesn't even NEED medications (he doesn't have bad behaviors) however he certainly needed special interventions that he wouldn't have gotten if we hadn't explored it further. Our pediatrician won't even touch these disorders. It's not his field and he knows it. Take care [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
