[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 268613, member: 1161"] Hi meg. MWM's comments and advice pretty much echo what I was thinking. Until we got our diagnosis, ODD was the only thing ever mentioned in connection with our difficult child. We saw the psychiatrist, who specializes in developmental disorders, and she diagnosis'd him Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). I mentioned ODD, and she said oh NOOO NOT ODD at all. As Wishing said, once the proper accomodations etc. were in place, his odd-type symptoms are pretty much gone. The behaviors your difficult child displays are probably the way she knows right now to express her frustration at whatever the real problem is. Kicking the teacher - it could have been something as simple as the teacher may have been humming under her breath, and your difficult child didn't know how to express that bothered her and to get teacher to stop. Simple things to us, may push out Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) difficult children to the breaking point. Many of my difficult child's meltdowns pre-diagnosis had to do with sensory issues - like one he had when they were piping Christmas carols into the classrooms, thinking it would be enjoyable for the kids. For my difficult child, the noise drove him nuts and he didn't know how or even that he could get them to stop it, he got frustrated trying to do his work, and so he kicked desks, tore paper etc. Took him a while to learn to voice when sensory things bugged him, and that he could actually ask them to change things.
