[QUOTE="Ash, post: 415406"] We noticed that he was "different" around age 3. He has been diagnosed ODD CD and Anxiety since Dec 2010. We have tried play therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy and he refused to participate so it was a waste of money. He literally sat for 10+ months not saying a word each visit. I know that ODD/CD are catch all diagnosises that are thrown around but when you read the symptoms of those two it is my son 100%. He meets and exceeds every criteria. I know he also has sever anxiety and has had a few panic attacks. He got that from me. He is not ADD/ADHD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He has been tested. We have not gotten a neuro psychiatric because my insurance does not cover it. I know every drug has side effects but man they make Risperdal sound so scary. You know? I just don't know what to do. I don't know if my son is just being a boy or if he really does have something wrong with him. I have tried to call around to get info about getting a neuropsychologist and seeing how much it would cost me but nobody ever knows what im talking about or its 6 months before I can get in to see anyone.
