[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 124975, member: 1550"] I know that on this board, the parents here mostly believe (as do I) that ODD is NOT a stand alone diagnosis, nor a useful one. It means the child is defiant, but it doesn't say why. That doesn't help. I'd say that the Aspergers is more important and may be causing him to be so frustrated that he is oppositional. I have a Spectrum child who is fourteen. Is your child able to communicate well? What sets him off? Transitions? Changes? Being around certain high power stimuli like loud noise or crowds or flurescent lights? I don't know how this works in England, but Spectrum kids in the US get special supports/help in school for free. How does it work there? (Really, I"d disregard the ODD and concentrate on the Aspergers/spectrum help). Spectrum kids don't respond to regular parenting methods. I highly recommend reading all the books by Tony Atwood. He has a site. Just put his name in the search engine. Welcome :) [/QUOTE]
