[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 559556, member: 1550"] Welcome to t he board, although I'm very sorry that you had a need to find us. I do have some questions and concerns about your situation and hope you can shed more light. Have either of them ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? I'm thinking that perhaps those diagnosis. are not correct. ODD is considered by many of us as a not very useful diagnosis and it is rarely given to a teenager of seventeen years old! ADD alone can be a lot of other things too. The fact that she likes to lay on you, more like a younger child, makes me wonder about sensory issues. I just think they should be evaluated again by somebody with more expertise than whomever diagnosed them the last time they were evaluated. You may be able to get more insight with a neuropsychologist. Honestly, I had no idea somebody as old as seventeen could even get a diagnosis. of ODD. Can you tell us more about their lives and behaviors? Do they have friends? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How did they behave as babies and young children? Any quirky behavior? Drug abuse? I am no t convinced you have the entire picture of your girls...others will come along :) [/QUOTE]
