This is my first post. My son was diagnosed yesterday with ODD. I have been reading and thinking how this will affect my family. I have three children....ages *.....10 ( ODD ) and 12. My husband is not taking this well.
I actually stumbled upon even gettting help. I mentioned to my sons pediatrician about his behavior and was added to an in office study to provide counceling in the office for patients of the practice. I never even heard of ODD, although after reading I swear my sons picture could fit next to any definition.
I am hoping ths site and help me with information, a listening ear and a place to feel "normal'. I feel like I have failed as a parent. I see a difference bewteen my kids from my son who is relentless to his sisters who seem to "copy" his behaviors at times.
I am thankful for any advise on this journey.
