[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 543927, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Can you give us some more details? It sounds like the behavior issues are not new - as in, existed well before "a couple of years ago". If the problems go a long ways back, then it sounds like you have multiple problems to deal with... if they were "new" (i.e. a kid with few problems until 12/13/14 and then major downhill...) then drugs could be the cause. Obviously, drugs are a current issue, and drugs always complicate every other issue. But... approaching this solely as a drug problem, probably doesn't work either. ODD is a touchy diagnosis (diagnosis). It describes problem behaviour very well, but offers no guidance as to cause, interventions, accommodations, medications, or any other approach to resolving the issue. Many of the kids that bring us to this Board would qualify for an ODD or CD diagnosis. But... usually, there is one or more other dxes that have been missed along the way. These can either have behavior challenges built in (developmental issues like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), mental illnesses such as Bipolar), or the build-up of frustrations in not having the right accommodations, interventions and/or medications from a variety of possible dxes can boil over into a "behavior problem". What kinds of testing has been done over the years? and by what kind of professional(s)? What kinds of things did he struggle with as a pre-schooler? elementary? [/QUOTE]
