[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 169908, member: 1550"] Hi, and welcome to the board. I am on vacation and using someone's computer, so I didn't read the other responses. I apologize if I'm repeating anything. ODD rarely stands alone. I would take this child for a neuropsychologist exam for a more complete evaluation. If he has quirks and is weird and socially clueless it would be a good idea to test him for high functioning autism (Aspergers maybe) to see if that's why he gets so upset and is so inappropriate. A psychiatrist could miss it, as he did with my own son. medications didn't help him. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions did. His first diagnosis. was ADHD/ODD. His second was bipolar. both were wrong. How was your child's early development? Did he cuddle well, speak on time, interact appropriately with peers, make good eye contact with strangers? Most babies will look at even strangers and smile. Was he overly sensitive to light, sound, foods, touch? Did he have trouble stopping one activity and moving on to another? Did he play with toys in an appropriate way? Any quirky behaviors, such as flapping his arms or chewing non-edible things or repeating what he heard? even if he is not on the spectrum, a neuropsychologist is much more intensive in his evaluations and is far more likely to get to the root cause of the problem than other professionals. they do a lot of testing and don't just hand out medications. A Behavioral Therapist and traditonal help, even discipline that usually helps, will not work with a child who may even be slightly on the spectrum. They don't think like other kids. Others will have advice too. [/QUOTE]
