[QUOTE="itisme1969, post: 424969, member: 11864"] Curious why is ODD a useless diagnosis? My son was diagnosis with ODD and ADHD and it explains alot of why he is so defiant. I really do believe that in the past 5 years they have diagnosis way to many children with autism. I use to work with a child that they claimed had autism, and now that I know more about ODD I truly believe he has ODD and not Autism, because Autism regardless of what they are on the spectrum does has a hard time when over stimulated, but this child loved malls, mcdonalds play land, circus, laser tag, roller skating parties, arcades you name it the louder and more people the better... I have never met a child with "autism" that could go to places like that, he could make eye contact, he loved to be hugged and cuddled there are so many things that dont add up to autism, but totally line right up with ODD. Now this child gets aide from the state, gets respite care, and CLS hours cuz the dr labeled him with autism, I do believe it is a total waste of state money when there are children that really truly need help can not get it... I have less problems with that child then I do my own child and I can barely get a medicine covered for him. [/QUOTE]
