[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713826, member: 1550"] As the mom of a son who has autism (all grown up and doing well and had my tiffs with teachers) i urge you to leave diagnosing to neuro psychologists, psychiatrists etc. So much looks like ODD which is not a specific diagnosis anyway and i did not take kindly to the wrong diagnoses of my son from teachers at all. I was told he had ADHD and other various diagnoses and to put him on Ritalin. The various intensive tests showed my son had autism, high functioning. He needed specific interventions and is now doing great at 24. Not all defiant kids have ODD. In fact it rarely stands alone. Teachers are educators, not diagnosticians. Just follow his IEP. Do your best. Thats all you can do. [/QUOTE]
