Re: Help me understand my five year old - how many labels does he have to have?

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to say that my son has sensory integration disorder ans

well as OCD and anxiety and probably depression/bipolar. I had a

therapist once call him ODD but what looks like ODD is his defense

against his out of whack sensory input, which is there is all types

of autism and other disorders too. When kids, especially young ones

feel overwhelmed they may lash out. I know that understanding this

has brought the defiance down in my son (well, except for at the

moment). Just my 2 cents.
