[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 155737"] What you described could be my daughter. I've had several tdocs and psychiatrists tell me that ODD has become a garbage-bin diagnosis, meaning that when they can't figure out what's going on they call it ODD. It does really exist, but it's also over-diagnosed. She does have what I call ODD behaviors, but not one professional (tdocs, psychiatrists and neuropsychologist) have even offered that as a diagnosis. If he's not understanding they why's how can he be expected to not repeat those mistakes? I would be looking into WHY he's not understanding the why's instead of just settling for a behavioral disorder diagnosis. Something's not connecting in his brain, in my opinion. I worried for years about my daughter's seeming lack of empathy. Until we had a very enlightening and spontaneous discussion in the car. Turns out she has tons of empathy. Too much. She takes on other people's problems as her own. She's super-hyper-sensitive. Her defense mechanism is to shut down which then looks like she just doesn't care. I'm not suggesting that is or is not the case with Jared, but just wanted to offer another perspective. [/QUOTE]
