[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 683884, member: 11791"] Many developmental problems show up by age 3, and it sounds like her challenges have been showing for a while. Kids this young do NOT have ODD - not EVER. ODD is more often applied to tweens and teens - and even then, it's just a placeholder diagnosis, while other possible diagnoses are evaluated. Technically, she is too young for even an ADHD diagnosis. At this age, they don't HAVE the kind of attention span that can be evaluated. Most good diagnosticians rarely even consider ADHD before age 6. Keep in mind that pediatricians are not trained in diagnosing developmental challenges. They are medical doctors trained in treating medical conditions in children. Most therapists are not qualified to give diagnoses either. And teachers most certainly have zero training in this. Therefore... please get her in to someone (or a team) who specializes in the assessment of young children. [/QUOTE]
