[QUOTE="heather34576, post: 758978, member: 24877"] She said in the report that he had oppositional defiant behaviors but I guess didn't feel it was enough to warrant diagnosis at this time. I have thought about it a lot and done more reading, and I think now that you are right about the behavior being related to autism and his deficits in empathy (I know not all autistic people struggle with this but he definitely does) and theory of mind. I guess time will tell if he has ODD on top of that. We have not done CBT with him. I didn't realize it could be done this young? I can't remember if I mentioned it already, but over the summer his BCBA helped me put together a behavior chart system for him (very much positive reinforcement, nothing negative). It has been useful, he finds it motivating and it also gives me a way to more easily track his behavior and notice patterns. I have also been keeping written notes on his behavior with more consistency since we started trying medications. Thank you for your comment! [/QUOTE]
