[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 73154, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. As others have said, ODD is usually the result of a bigger disorder. I strongly suggest having him checked out by a neuropsychologist. Now I have a few questions: 1/ Has he ever been evaluated? 2/ Does he have any developmental delays, like speech, pottying, fine or gross motor problems? 3/ Are there are psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? 4/ How is his eye contact? Can he make friends and hold a conversation? Can he transition? Is he a fussy eater or picky about what he wears? 5/Does he sleep well? Not everything requires medication. My son doesn't take medications. Frankly, I would also disregard hub and take child for evaluation and help. I'd be cautious about medications, but wouldn't rule them out, depending on whether or not the child seemed to be able to control himself--some kids can't and that makes everyone miserable, especially the child. Some men think discipline is all ya need, but our kids usually don't respond to traditional discipline. They need a different sort of handling. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
