[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 193424, member: 831"] Most of us do. It's the ODD behavior that bring us to our knees and bring us here. However, I don't think it's a "disorder" necessarily. It's more of a term to describe behaviors. Generally, there is something that is causing the ODD-anxiety, mood disorders, etc. I used to think the same myself. No labels. However, what I have found that labels are not set in stone and can be helpful in getting treatment and services. You might want to capture the meltdowns on video. Pictures=1000 words. It can be helpful when dealing with professionals. I know my kids rarely had a meltdown in public. When Daughter did it the first time it was in front of 200 horrified kids, parents, and coaches at a soccer practice. Anyway, have the camera ready. I'm completely serious. Thing is, typical kids do not meltdown over chores. Most therapists are simply unprepared to deal with our type of kids. And, many of our kids do not make any progress anyway until the behavior is controlled medication. I'm glad to know you got a evaluation for her. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
