[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 86379, member: 3493"] We were originally told our now 13 year old was ODD with ADHD. He is the least ADHD person I have ever met and even the psychiatrist who initially diagnosed him changed his mind. We finally figured out after years of torture that his co-traveler is school based performance anxiety disorder coupled with a disorder of written expression. Since we have been dealing with those issues, the ODD has diminished almost entirely. He still does passively defiant stuff - like refusing to sit for a school picture for his yearbook because his "essence" will be stolen (difficult child speak for photophobic!, telling his chorus teacher that he does not approve of her choice of songs for the winter concert and not handing in a poem he wrote because he did not believe his English teacher would honor her promise not to read it aloud, but the shutdowns, the physical avoidance and the like have virtually ceased. Once we knew what we were dealing with and dealt with it headon, the ODD became less of a player. Figure out what is comorbid with it, and realize that you may have to go through several possible diagnosis's like we did and when you get the right one and treat that, your ODD will be helped too.
