[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 498252, member: 1550"] ADhd/ODD as a combination is a common first diagnosis, however it is rarely the last diagnosis. It is sort of like a "working diagnosois." I would still see the neuropsychologist. You will get far more specific and be able to help your little one better. ODD applies to almost all of our kids, however they are defiant for different reasons...usually various disorders. Did your child have a difficult early history? Some kids seem to just be born wired differently. but it's important to find out what is wrong to the best of your ability because different methods work for different disorders. As they get older, it does get harder if these things are not addressed. Schools are terrible at pointing us toward the right resources. I think it makes sense though. They are educators, not medical professionals. They don't really know...it is not their field. Sadly, the school psychologists tend to be the private psychologist rejects...lol. I have not found any I really liked. I'd go private for sure for any advice. [/QUOTE]
