[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 179956, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. What kind of professional diagnosed your child? Do you know that ODD rarely stands alone? With that speech delay (even though she is catching up) I would want her tested for high functioning autism, not ADHD. My son has it and it is hard to diagnose and, regardless, needs special interventions. Often these kids get the wrong label of ODD. Is she sensitive to textures, foods, sounds, transitions? Does she have trouble socializing APPROPRIATELY? This doesn't mean she's not friendly--she may be VERY friendly. But does she know how to have a give-and-take meaningful conversation with children her own age? Does she have a good imagination and play normally with toys? I see red flags for more than ODD and more than ADHD. I would want to take her to a neuropsychologist. Their evaluations are far more intensive than just therapists, and I think you would do your child a service to set up such an evaluation. Here is a short, online test (that can be very accurate) that can let you know if your daughter is at high risk to have a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) problem: [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] Welcome again :) [/QUOTE]
