[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 292996, member: 1550"] Hi. Sorry you're having so much trouble. It could be a form of autism too. Seems like all of your kids are "fuzzy" in their diagnosis. I take it you're not from the US. If you state where you're from maybe somebody from your country can give you advice on how to proceed. It's different here than, say, in the UK--normally I would advise taking all three kids to a neuropsychologist for evaluations in order to clear things up. I would say a behavioral therapist is not the best to diagnose, but, again, in some places you have no choice. In the US, it is doubtful anyone would mention CD about a three year old. And many on this board feel that ODD is kind of a throwaway diagnosis. I'm one of them. As you can see, our kids usually don't respond to logical consequences and behavioral theories. There is usually a bigger diagnosis. behind the ODD, and that's what drives the behavior. In the US, she may get a diagnosis. of a possible impending mood disorder but, again, I'm finding that all countries are different. It's not your fault. Are there any psychiatric or neurological issues on your child's family tree, including her biological father? Any substance abuse? Problems tend to be inherited. [/QUOTE]
