[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469243, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. First... most of us around here see ODD as a bit of a place-holder diagnosis, rather than "the" diagnosis... Yes, the behaviors fit the ODD description. Yes, the behaviors are absolutely unacceptable. BUT... an ODD diagnosis does NOT give any clue or guildelines as to what the solutions should be. AND... most of the time, there is a REASON for the behavior. If you can find the reason(s), and find solutions at that level, then most of the behavior problems go away (what's left is habit etc. and can be changed too...) Can you give us a little more history? When did the behavior start? Who did the diagnosis? When? Any family history of challenges or dxes of any sort? When did you separate from his Dad? What other events were going on in his life when the behaviors started? Do you see the behavior at home as well as at school? or just at school? Family dynamics? (who does he live with... sibs/steps/ etc.) Any info you can give us, helps the rest of us "relate" to the situation. We're all "just" parents... but the range of experience on this board is pretty amazing... [/QUOTE]
