I would read "The Explosive Child". It has great insight into how to look at kids, especially ones who have that tendency for small things to become huge issues. The book uses no labels and just discusses the traits that cause children to blow up and how to work with the child to teach him/her the skills needed to ensure that it becomes less.

ADDED: If you do decide to read the book, don't put it down just because the case studies seem much more extreme than your child. I did that the first time I started to read it. Now that I'm getting past that point, I'm realizing it's good information for any child who has those issues to any degree.
