[QUOTE="rachelfran, post: 73579, member: 3955"] Just wanted to say hello -- My son turned six in July and we are dealing with much the same... It came upon us fairly suddenly and 1st grade has been difficult.. I had an angel in kindergarten and now .. let's just say it's not the same. We've been to see a psychologist who made an instant diagnosis of ODD and ADHD - and suggested we see a neurologist and our pediatrician for medical tests so we can rule out something medical since it's come upon us so suddenly... We saw the neurologist today - who will run an EEG at some time in the future ... (they are backed up) but she also suggested there could be a processing disorder and thought we should do a round of neuropsychologist testing ... I'm in the process of finding out what insurance will pay for ... We've read the explosive child and while it's good - it's hard to get it to work for my son as i'm not sure he can conceptualize the compromise ideas... What does work for us sometimes - is anticipating the explosions and avoiding the triggers -- not always easy to do ... Good luck to you and everyone else on this board who have been given a tough hand to play. Rachel [/QUOTE]
