[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 460760, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Others will be along later... but wanted you to know that we hear you! I think you'll find, around here, that the ODD label is not taken as a workable diagnosis... and it doesn't sound like you have a diagnosis of anything. ODD, you see, describes a range of behaviors, but tells nothing about the cause or effective ways to deal with it. When kids are young, it serves some purpose as a "placeholder" diagnosis... as in, the doctors know something is wrong but don't have the answers yet. So... please bear with us as we ask some questions! Can you give us some history on your children, and on the whole family situation? For example: - what age did the problems begin? - are these your biological kids? is husband the biological dad as well? - have they ever been evaluated for these issues, say by a psychologist or psychiatrist? - any history of disorders in the family tree? such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspergers, ADHD, bi-polar, etc. It helps if you create a signature... there are lots of members on this board, and it helps us keep track of the situation at hand when responding to posts.
