[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 593787, member: 11791"] Just a gut feel? You're either dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie, or with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) - or both. Either way, I doubt "Precision Command Training" is going to help - and may in fact harm. ODD... is an "odd" diagnosis. I'm on the same page as many parents on this board... it comes in handy sometimes as a "placeholder diagnosis" - at least validates that the kid has problems, and it isn't just the parents. But... ODD is not a working diagnosis. There is almost nothing you can do for ODD. What we HAVE found? ODD is usually caused by other missing dxes. Those early hearing problems? maybe there's some Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) in there, too... and fixing the "language" issue won't solve APDs like auditory figure ground or auditory discrimination. The inappropriate touching... could be either something on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum or Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Knowing what to do and not doing it... could be either. For a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid, it's choosing not to - for a spectrum kid, they don't know how to apply theory in real life situations. The kind of evaluator he needs... really depends on what the issues are. If there's any hint of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), it would probably be my first round... but you need somebody who really knows Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) inside and out... and most tdocs and psychiatrists do not have a clue AT ALL.
