[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 612782, member: 11791"] Hi, Jen, and welcome. First... you won't need to go postal HERE. WE get it... And no, you're not a loser in the parenting department. Life dealt you a VERY challenging kid. Welcome to the club that none of us intended to be part of! Skip the ODD diagnosis. That particular diagnosis only describes problem behavior - there is no tie to source of problems, no interventions, accommodations or medications. It does validate that the behavior is not normal, sometimes useful as a placeholder for when the professionals don't have another diagnosis to run with at the moment... but there will be something more going on. The school/home thing is NOT unusual with challenging kids. It takes everything they have to hold it together at school, and by the time they get home they are overloaded, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and exhausted - mentally, emotionally, and/or physically. So of course they explode at home. That doesn't make HOME the problem, though. Who provided the ADHD diagnosis, and how long ago? Has he ever been evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory and motor skills problems? Ever had a comprehensive evaluation? [/QUOTE]
