[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 582800, member: 11791"] Because... ODD gives you absolutely nothing except confirmation that YOU (the parent) are not crazy. There are no interventions, accommodations, or medications that work for ODD. My gut said there had to be some[I] reason[/I] for the behavior. We ended up with a whole list of reasons. A kid who is truly just ADHD, will be JUST ADHD. I have one of those. Not even any secondary anxiety - at least, not once we got the ADHD medications working (inattentive type, needs help with managing focus). ZERO behaviour issues (well... typical teen stuff, but that doesn't count). Other stuff? Half the kids with ADHD also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - and many times that gets missed or dismissed (he'll grow out of it, there isn't anything we can do anyway). Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is HUGE. Occupational Therapist (OT) helps. Technology helps. Getting major rewrites of the entire PE curriculum helps (didn't succeed on that one, but we tried...) Many kids with ADHD have one or more LDs. Something like 70% of kids with ADHD and a Learning Disability (LD)... have an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) as well. And other than the classical form where the person has trouble comprehending verbal language... most of the other APDs get missed. Kids with ADHD are at high risk for secondary anxiety and secondary depression... likely cause is the other missing dxes. Those after-school melt-downs? biggest causes for our house were... undiagnosed Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), and un-accommodated Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We're getting more accommodations and interventions now, and difficult child is doing better as a result. [/QUOTE]
