[QUOTE="SRL, post: 251983, member: 701"] Hi DonnaFB. Welcome to our forum. I know it's tough getting to the point where you decide you need to start looking for answers. Most of us here believe that at your point ODD isn't a final answers but means "you need to get to the bottom of why she's acting this way". Many of our kids here do have some neurological reason (sensory issues, mood disorders, etc) that explain the difficult behaviors. You'll want to start with your pediatrician but he/she will be more apt to give you referrals for the types of assessments needed if you do your homework first. A few questions: What's the mental health history of the family like? How's her speech? Any delays, or advanced adult-sounding speech? Is she extra sensitive to sensory information -lights, sounds, very picky about foods or clothes? Does she sleep well? You'll want to get a copy of the book The Explosive Child and read the thread about it at the top of this board. [/QUOTE]
