[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 374673, member: 1991"] If your daughter has a diagnosis, then I believe you should share that with the teacher. If you have sufficient concerns about your daughter that you are considering investigating, then I would probably still discuss this with the teacher, perhaps ask for her to keep an eye out with a view to sharing her opinion with you. But if it's just that you're finding her a handful at home, I would wait before saying anything. IF you feel your child meets the criteria for ODD, then keep looking. Increasingly, most of us here feel that ODD is a manifestation of an underlying condition which, if treated or managed better, will lead to improvement in the ODD symptoms. What you describe doesn't sound like ODD to me. There are a number of conditions it could fit, but a starting point for you to consider, is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Look for the online (unofficial) Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url]. Whatever the result (even if it is normal) print it out and take it to the doctor, see if that gets you started. Keep us posted on how you get on. Do a sig, so you don't have to keep telling us about yourself in detail every time. Don't use your real names or anything to identify you - that way if the teacher turns out to be a dud, you an vent away here and not be tracked. IT'S GOOD TO FEEL FREE! Marg [/QUOTE]
