[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 605529, member: 11791"] ODD has no treatment... which is why most of us don't put much stock in it. If you believe the ADHD fits, you're probably right... ADHD can either be a stand-alone diagnosis, OR it can be part of other dxes. Things that help ADHD help ADHD whether it stands alone or is part of another diagnosis. So, run with that one. But you're right... it doesn't address the explosive stuff, nor the other problems. So... I'd keep up the hunt. What happens if you "assume" your kid is actually somewhere on the autism spectrum (aspie or whatever), and try and parent him that way? Some kids never get the diagnosis but have enough traits that they need the different parenting approach. If he's on the spectrum, then punishment doesn't work. Depending on where exactly on the spectrum, rewards may or may not work. They have to be taught what to do, when to do it, how to do it, when not to do it... substitute any behavior or action or words for "it". If you assume he is just being obstinate, you will treat him differently then if you assume that there is some reason why he can't behave... because, if you assume there is a reason, then you will search until you find the reason (or reasons...)
