The pictures are from last years trip to the Pumpkin Patch. It was just a few weeks after we started the crazy trip we have been on with trying to get a diagnosis for Cody. We adopted Cody when he was a year and a half knowing that he had not had an ideal beginning to life. For the first few years I chalked everything up to that but it had come to the point that I needed some help dealing with his behavior. We went to see a child therapist and she was the first to suggest Autism. His current diagnosis is Autism spectrum along with Oppositional Defiance Disorder. Every day is a new challenge but we keep moving forward. The day at the pumpkin patch was a reward for having two days in a row with good behavior at daycare.
If your looking to get a handle on the Oppositional Defiant Disorder, I would recommend looking into a child behavior modification program like The Total Transformation Program.
