[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 134691, member: 1233"] Welcome. Lots of help, support and experience here. All freely shared. I am not sure what a behavioral pediatrician is? Is it a developmental pediatrician?? Many of us recommend neuropsychologist testing, or testing by a multidisciplinary team (found at major hospitals - esp Children's). This is much more intensive testing than found with other doctors. ODD may explain the behaviors you see. That is what ODD means, she has a set of behaviors. It does NOT explain why she has them, or what causes them. ODD is not a stand-alone diagnosis. IT is usually caused by another disorder. IF you can identify and treat the other disorder, then the ODD behavior often becomes more manageable. And sometimes it disappears. Many, if not most, of us here started with the ADHD diagnosis. Then went around trying to figure out what was going on, because it just did not fit the bill. Or the treatment did not help. What treatment is she getting for this? Diet, counselling,??? Usually the doctor wants to prescribe medication as soon as they tell you ADHD. It can help. However, if school is saying it isn't a problem, is she learning there? In a very rowdy class, so that her behaviors are overlooked? I know I often heard my son was fine, but mostly because they did not want to provide services. I did hear, on report cards and when talking about behavior, that my son was wild, undisciplined, any number of adjectives. What kind of treatment was the counsellor doing? Did it help? Was it for anxiety, or for ADHD? (what kind of ADHD is she diagnosed with - inattentive, hyperactive, combined? I may be forgetting one or more types, it has been a long time.) The Explosive Child will help a lot. It was a really big help, and a good insight into what my child was experiencing/thinking. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
