[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 517339, member: 1550"] The problem is that ODD rarely stands alone and is a rather unhelpful diagnosis. ODD means defiant kid and it doesn't explain why there is defiance. Therapists use it more than the more highly credentialed professionals such as Psychiatrists and Neuropsychs. ODD is often used when the professional has no clue what is going on. ODD also is not situational. He would be that way all the time if he had it, even with another diagnosis with it. I would take him for a neuropsychologist evaluation to see what is going on, rather than guessing. Not all Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are delightful and charming and sweet. Some are. Many are too frustrated for that and very angry. No two are the same, but it does run in families. Maybe something harder to detect is going on...again, I'd use the neuropsychologist as a diagnostician. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
