We are thinking my son has ODD and possibly ADHD. They also want to test him / evaluate him for bipolar as well.
He has attacked just about everyone he knows, violently but not overly violent. Just slapping, punching, kicking, biting, yelling, defiance to anyone in athority. Attacking class mates, kicked one kid in the head that was supposedly a good friend and who NOW they play well. He is an authoritan, he has to be in charge and ording people around all the time, and if things don't go his way he freaks out and cries and/or hitting, running around, yelling, defiance. Also in his OLD class (they had to switch him, more explanation to come) class he used to make a loud BEEP noise, run around and hide, mouth off and swear, try to run away from class, and have his evil little laugh and think its all a riot. No care for anything but himself.
He has done just about everything short of trying to kill himself or anyone else....with a weapon that is.
He convinced his bestfriend to get scisors and to cut the screen window on a 2nd floor bedroom out and to jump out. Thanks be to whomever is up there, they got caught by my BFF's husband. He threw a screwdriver at my head the other day.
His behaviour has been in a lull for a couple days, I suspect this weekend it will flair up again because he see's his dad.
He has a file with an orginization I cannot mention, and not CAS/CPS, its an organization that helps kids with serious behaviour issues in our city. I only don't mention it because I don't premote anything unless someone needs help of the same services.
I worry about him though, I worry about him being put on meds, I worry what he'll become because of his issues but I know that at least I am tryign constantly and he is recieving loving care and guidance from me and that's all I can do asa parent is guide him in the right way and lead by example.
Kids with ODD are scary man, heck my own kid can be scary at times. Not when he's hitting and stuff...just this last time throwing a screw driver at my head. Now I have to report it to the psyche in the morn and I worry that they might form him.
Well, we'll see.
