[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 399296"] My son was "diagnosis'd" with ODD and anxiety as well. I have been continuing to dig for reasons for his behaviors. As it is beginning to look, I am fairly certain, and am waiting for psychiatrist to evaluate, that difficult child is actually on the Autism Spectrum. My difficult child's defiance comes into play more when things don't go the way he'd intended or when "life" doesn't go along with whatever thought popped into his head that he can't let go of. That was also driving his anxiety. He would get very anxious when routines, schedules, staff at school, or other "routine events" were changed, especially if he wasn't informed about it way ahead of time. I would take everyone else's recommendations and continue digging. I had to change the way I thought about difficult child's behaviors to figure out the WHY in them. Read the Ross Green book "The Explosive Child". That is what got me to think about the behaviors differently so I could begin to find the truth. Good Luck. You've come to the right place. Without the advice and support of these ladies, I can't imagine where I would be right now. [/QUOTE]
