[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 500581, member: 1550"] Hi, sweetie. Welcome to the board, but very sorry you have to be here. Many labels on one kid usually add up to one big umbrella diagnosis. I would take her to a neuropsychologist for more clarification. ODD, by the way, is not seen by many of us as a useful diagnosis. It just means "defiant." It does not explain why t he c hild is defiant. To me, it sounds a lot like this child [I][B]could [/B][/I]be on some part of the autism spectrum, from the late walking and talking to the acting out in frustrating. I have posted an online test that can rule in or out PDDs. It is not official, however people I chat with on another site (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) site) feel it is quite accurate as long as you give very honest answers. My son was a lot like your child. And when he caught up in speech, I thought, "Eureka! HE CAUGHT UP!" But other problems perissted, included "different" ways of learning and social issues. His first diagnosis was ADHD/ODD, but that was not his problem. Here is t he test if you decide to use it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Getting the correct school interventions is the only real issue right now. Later, the diagnosis/label will make a difference in the amount of help/supports your child can get. [/QUOTE]
