[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 386213, member: 2423"] I just went to hear Ross Greene (author of [I]The Explosive Child[/I]) at an all-day workshop last week. He said -- and I quote -- ODD is a "meaningless disorder." I truly believe that clinicians who give out the ODD diagnosis are lazy and unhelpful. What many of us here have come to understand is that ODD is a set of behaviors for which there is an underlying cause. When the underlying cause is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors subside. I agree with MWM that you should have your son evaluated by a neuropsychologist. Neuopsychs can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. Welcome and good luck. [/QUOTE]
