[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 245990, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. You're not a bad mother. You have a differently wired type of child. Her thinking is NOT like a "typical" kid. ODD is a very broad diagnosis. and in my opinion and that of many professionals it's also not very helpful. Rather than ODD being the underlying diagnosis. it is usually ANOTHER diagnosis. that causes the ODD behavior. She should probably get evaluated. I have a few questions that could help us help you. 1/Are there any psychiatric or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? 2/How is her early development regarding speech, eye contact, engaging, interacting with same-age peers? Is she appropriate with toy play or does she line them up or dismantle them or even ignore them? Does she transition poorly? Get overly upset if anything is changed? Is she sensitive to sound, light, texture, certain foods, crowds? Can she make strong eye contact with strangers? Did she like to cuddle as a baby? Does she ever recite things by rote memory? Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
