[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no expert but that seems OFF. ODD is very rarely diagnosed these days and it ALWAYS accompanies another diagnosis, which is part of the reason it is rarely diagnosed - ie., you want to see if remediating/understanding the ADHD, LD, anxiety or ASD helps. Also, clearly, something is goin on. That is some serious aggression and it is unlikely that it is "nothing", right? Did you do the ADOS? I am not sure what I would think. At the least, you have behavior issues, perhaps that do not fit into a diagnosis. And it sounds like the class switch has been great for him. Do you need an IEP? You may want one in case these issues appear in his next class. [/quote]

OP Again:

We didn't do the ADOS, would that be part of the neuropsych testing we have upcoming or do I have to specifically request that?  I'm thinking that I'll keep the KK appointment in March and have his new teacher do the evaluation portion.  I'm interested in seeing if his behavior continues to improve in school as he didn't have any issues in K or 1st.   I'm also not entirely convinced he doesn't have underlying anxiety issues.
