[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 424984, member: 11791"] Why is ODD a "useless" diagnosis? Well, didn't quite call it "useless", but... there's all sorts of OTHER things that can easily be dumpted into ODD, but the other diagnosis possibilities would give a far more concise picture. If it really is ODD, then it really is NOT a diagnosis... as in, nothing wrong with the kid, "just parenting issues". Trust me - no one I've run into on this site really wants to go down THAT road and/or has been down it more than once too often already. Unless the "other possibilities" have been ruled out, who knows what lurks under the surface. I'd suggest getting "The Explosive Child". No matter what the diagnosis, stuff in that book seems to make sense. Its not about the diagnosis, its about unmet needs, and how to find them; things that work and don't work, etc. [/QUOTE]
