[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 221744, member: 1550"] Even if your ex never sees your son, he unfortunately has his genes. More about that later. It doesn't mean your son will be an abuser. Not all all. Your pediatrician really wasn't trained in childhood disorders. I've learned not to trust them to diagnose, even ADHD. In fact, our pediatrician refuses to diagnose those types of disorders saying, "I wasn't trained to do that." He refers people to other types of professionals. in my opinion if you have gone to your doctor for help with your child, then you are seeing troubling behaviors, and you, as Mom, are probably right. Something is probably not quite right. Are you scared of what you may hear? You sound a little apprehensive... ODD isn't a very useful diagnosis. I think all of our kids have gotten it--all it means is what we already know: They are defiant. It doesn't tell us why there are defiant or what disorder is causing the defiance. I would personally want a neuropsychologist evaluation. I find them better and more intensive then even a Psychiatrist. How was your child's early development? Did he speak on time and appropriately? Does he have a lot of friends, know how to play in a give-and-take way? Does he make good eye contact? Does he cuddle with you? Any mood disorders on either side of the family tree? Substance abuse? Answering these questions will help us help you :) [/QUOTE]
