[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 373469, member: 1991"] ODD tends to get thrown around a lot and I think can get in the way of real help. I've only got a few minutes to reply, I will try to write more in the morning (it's late at night now). Look around the site especially at recent posts. I posted at length on this in the last couple of days to someone else's thread, see if you can find it. Click on my name and go to "find recent posts by this person" and see if that helps. Because what I would tell you, is similar. I also want you to consider the possibility of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in some form. Not that it necessarily is, but it often gets missed as a possibility, especially once ODD gets mentioned. ODD tends to imply the child is choosing to be difficult, and once you have that in your mind, you tend to be looking for signs of the child being an ornery brat. But Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) can look a lot like your list of things, above. And the kids are like this NOT because they want to be horrible, but because they feel they have to do this, in order to make sense of the world. Go to [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] and look for their Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire. It's not officially diagnostic, but it can still be printed out and taken to the doctor, to help provide some interesting points of discussion. Also get hold of "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It also can be a great eye opener, and we found it made a huge improvement in our lives. Welcome to the site. More will be along soon. Marg [/QUOTE]
