Negativity... PDD, mood disorder, ODD?

Hello all,


My five year old is SO negative... The psych who eval him even noted that he was pessimistic even to neutral stimuli. He frequently calls things "stupid" or "lame"... "You have the stupidest rules!"


He also frquently gets angry and frustrated with me and tells me I don't understand somthing he's trying to explain and also says things like,


"Do this. Do that. Do this. Do that... That's all you and daddy say! Everyone's just always telling me what to do!"


We are seeking a second opinion on his dx of PDD-NOS and mood disorder. No matter what the label, he HATES being told what to do and can be extremely bossy. We really thought ODD.


Any thoughts??
