[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 600476, member: 1550"] I joined several activities after I had a bad experience at my job and decided not to work anymore. It's REALLY kicked up my social life. I'm a lot happier when I'm with other people. medications help my depression. Are you against medications? I agree that your daughter sounds very spectrumish. She sounds as if she is differently wired. ODD would pertain to every single child here. It is in my opinion an unhelpful, throw together diagnosis. for when th e diagnostician doesn't really know what is going on or doesn't have t he knowledge of testing for disorders. Many of us don't put much faith in it. ODD behavior happens most often because another, bigger diagnosis. is going on causing the disobedience. It is not willful misbehavior and these kids need to be diagnosed and we as parents need to learn to parent much differently than our peers. Even strict discipline and consistency doesn't usually make our children like other children. Maybe it helps, but it doesn't cure the problem. Early interventions are really important and you really should take her for a complete battery of tests in all area of function. Keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
