[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 323897, member: 6374"] Jonathan, I assume you are a single father not mother as some above did. Welcome from the (few) fathers here. ODD is a symptom of several possible conditions, and I would include a psychiatrist (unless you already are seeing one with the ADHD diagnosis and then he needs to know more of what you describe). My son was also diagnosed with ADHD around age 6 and treated with concerta only to see a couple of years later that he's rather a bipolar. On concerta he would get manageable in class (but almost frozen) but would have a major meltdown in a week or so, stronger than usual. Meltdowns would be (and still are sometimes) of extreme emotional high and distress when restricted and insisting things done or redone just his way, and then exhaustion. Laughing when disciplined, absent look is what I see too, but it is inconclusive of course, so what's family history? Addictions/alcoholism, violence, suicides, other emotional extremes (trouble with law etc)? [/QUOTE]
