[QUOTE="shellyd67, post: 354151, member: 6371"] Hi, we have also had a recent diagnosis of ADHD and ODD for our soon to be 10year old son. And let me tell you that the two diagnosis together are lethal. There is so much stress and tension in our home when my son goes into one of his rages. He was in behavioral therapy for over a year and it did very little for him. This year he is having extreme difficulties in school concentrating, focusing etc.. We recently have tried medications (after many years of saying, "We will never medicate OUR child") and nothing so far is working for him. His grades are slipping and I see his self esteem just crushed. I feel your pain believe me. Now let me ask this ... does your daughter display her ODD behaviors to everyone? or just u? my son only displays them to me and my husband (MOSTLY ME THOUGH):frowny: I try so hard to help him and speak with him calmly and lovingly but he is so nasty and does not want to hear a word I say ... I am on the hunt for a child psychologist that specializes in both disorders .... Please know that it can only get better and we are all on our ways to better days !!! I would love to chat with out and bounce our issues off one another ! take care and the best of luck to u all ! [/QUOTE]
