[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 309542, member: 1233"] As smallworld mentioned, most of us feel ODD is a waste of perfectly good letters when it is applied as a diagnosis (diagnosis). ODD describes behaviors that can be caused by almost anything. Some here have seen "ODD" behavior disappear if the child is on a certain diet! But not all have seen that. Same for most anything. If it helps the condition causing the ODD behaviors then they go away with-o specific treatment of the ODD. Cause there is no specific treatment for ODD. Further testing is highly recommended. One thing to be aware of is that most, if not all, of our difficult children are first diagnosed with ADHD. Most of us seem to start there. After that other diagnosis's are given but not until we fight for testing or further evaluations. It is more the beginning of the road than the end of it. It would be very helpful for you to fill out a Parent Input and Assessment Report. It is an outline some parents here came up with to help you keep info about your difficult child organized and to help you present that info to the various doctors and therapists you will work with. Here is the link: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/url] It is NOT something you send to us - you keep it and take it to docs/therapists, etc... You give them ONLY the things you want them to have. Be wary of the info you give to the school. I am so glad you found us. Sending many welcoming hugs for you, your partner, and the entire family.
