[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 484079, member: 11791"] From an ADHD household standpoint... what you describe does NOT sound like ADHD. Not even ADHD plus something else. And the ODD diagnosis is really more of a red-flag that there is more going on... most of the time, there is a better explanation for the behavior. To be fair, sometimes ODD is given as a diagnosis when there isn't enough information yet to come up with a better diagnosis... BUT... its a huge red flag. Perhaps something on the autism spectrum?? I'd be challenging the diagnosis, and looking for a comprehensive evaluation - NOT with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) specialist, either, or that is the diagnosis you are likely to get - you need somebody who will look at the WHOLE picture, and tell you what is really going on.
