[QUOTE="Josie, post: 80026, member: 1792"] It seems to me that ODD is a description of behaviour and not a true illness. Usually, there is something else going on causing the ODD. If you can figure out what that is, you can better manage and/or eliminate the ODD behaviour. I do think I have "cured" my daughter's ODD. She has food allergies to wheat, gluten, and milk. Eliminating those foods has pretty much eliminated her ODD. The only time that behaviour comes back is when she has cheated on her diet. That doesn't happen too often because she knows she feels better when she doesn't eat them and she knows she will get in trouble from her behaviour if she cheats. When she was at her worst, she behaved well at school and in public. Most people were shocked to hear how she was at home. Probably they thought my parenting was to blame. However, now she is fine and my parenting hasn't changed. I don't mean to imply that your answer will be as simple as a diet change. But it is something to consider as well as bipolar, autism, etc. I agree that a neuropsychologist evaluation would be a good start. [/QUOTE]
