[QUOTE="WorriedGrandma, post: 763997, member: 32045"] Thank you very much. I talked with my son last night, and he said that difficult child has [B]not [/B]been tested of ODD. I firmly asked him to do so. I believe I read where 40% of ADHD children also have ODD, and he is also [I]very [/I]ADHD. That is primarily what the counselors are looking at, and he is on medication for ADHD. The article also says that they often grow out of it, but so far haven't seen signs of it going away. The stories here have me very worried -- tales of homelessness, drug addiction, suicide, etc. I'm thankful that you are doing well in life - it gives us hope! My son also suffers from ADHD and depression, and has gotten through life fairly well -- steady job, good relations, etc. But I know he struggles to keep live on an even keel (and is on medication to help him). I believe our family was already carrying some nasty genes, and difficult child's prematurity didn't help in the least bit! Again, thank you for being on this forum. [/QUOTE]
