[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 160047, member: 1550"] in my opinion, you should be looking into sensory issues, and possibly more than ADHD, rather than calling the child defiant. Many kids potty late--often it is due to sensory problems--not realizing when they have to go and/or not caring or feeling it if they are dirty. This is common with autistic spectrum disorder and some other problems too. I'd want to see a neuropsychologist. Late pottying is a red flag that something is wrong, not that the child is willfully disobeying. If ADHD medications didn't help that is a further red flag that it may not be due to ADHD. ODD just means definiance--it doesn't tell you why. I'd look deeper into the cause of the behaviors that you are explaining. Just as a precaution, I'd have the pediatrician check her out for a physical cause, however it probably isn't that. My closest friend had a son who held his poop until it was compacted. He had potty issues until he was in his teens, but he had a diagnosis. of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He is an adult and his issues have pretty much resolved, but he needed interventions, not just medications and therapy. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
