[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 168492, member: 1498"] I think most of the people around her believe that what is so often diagnosed as ODD is really behavior associated with an underlying neurobiological condition, not a separate disorder. Virtually all of us have seen behavior that could be diagnosed as ODD which is why you will see many say "ODD rarely stands alone." And most of us have seen ODD fade when that underlying neurobiological disorder was addressed. I'm probably going to be the first to say this but based on recent posts to this board, I think ODD is the new diagnosis-of-the-year. Seems like every kid has it these days. And like all the other diagnoses-of-the-year, it is a collection of nebulous behaviors which can be caused by many, many medical conditions ranging from reactions to medications to allergies to seizure disorders to anxiety to other neurobiological conditions and yes, to poor parenting practices*. And sometimes the behaviors are simply normal at certain stages of development. My deepest sympathies on the loss of your sweet-baby. My Jake died suddenly two weeks ago. I still feel the pain you are going through. Give your girls hugs from me. And ask them to give you a hug. *Let's be honest about it, it's true. It's the unspoken truth because virtually all of us have been blamed for our children's behavior because someone decided we are bad parents and we [I]all[/I] bristle at the suggestion. But, truth be told, [I]sometimes[/I] that is the problem. [/QUOTE]
