[QUOTE="nvts, post: 408432, member: 3814"] Hey Sheila! Welcome to the crowd! It's a great group - we all have similar experiences and we all rely on each others "wit and wisdom" (and sometimes a kick in the pants when we need it!). Soooo, I'm sensing that you're a little frustrated? Just kidding...I think most of us have been where you are at one point (let's be real - many points!) in our lives. I don't know much about the diagnosis "conduct disorder" but ODD, man do I know what you're saying! Usually, I look at both of those diagnosis's as symptoms of something deeper or more involved though. Has he had a full blown neuropsychologist done? The resistance to change can indicate a major problem with transitions. Mine has Aspergers Syndrome and PTSD and he sounds just like yours. Mine is 12, but has been acting like this for YEARS! Ugh! My recommendation is that you question/check into whether or not there could be some underlying cause. If he is on the spectrum - say with Aspergers, the ADHD medications could be making the problem worse. Either way, he needs something to stabalize him. My son is in a psychiatric hospital. trying out new medications. to see if we can get him a little less, shall we say, aggressive. Again, welcome to the crowd and huge hugs from someone who knows a lot of the feelings that you have! Beth [/QUOTE]
