[QUOTE="SRL, post: 129761, member: 701"] I'm sorry, I don't mean to throw you into total confusion. Don't go seeking out another private evaluation at this point but be aware that there are other issues such as bipolar, seizures (non-observable), sleep problems, etc. that can be at the root of ODD behaviors. What you do want to do if it's a standalone ODD diagnosis is to really question the diagnostician as to why other issues were ruled out. Go through the school evaluation and see what they pick up and if all the pieces fit together. Just be aware that we often see parents reporting initial diagnoses of ODD or ODD/ADHD handed out by psychiatrists which later turn out to be incomplete. I'm not saying that will be your situation but be aware. I'm sorry to hear that your family has been hit hard with the flu. Once all 5 of us went down within 4 days. I was last and I was incredibly exhausted and all I wanted to do was hide in a hot bathtub and have a good cry. Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
