[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 26663, member: 59"] There is a big difference between ODD as a diagnosis and ODD symptoms which many children exhibit either with or without other disorders. Perhaps yor son has an anger management problem or he is easily frustrated or has a short fuse. There may be somethng biological behind it but it may also just be his makeup. It is good that he is going to counseling to learn coping skills. If he is doing well in school and the only behvaior is his aggressiveness it does not sound like ODD to me. I would not discuss his diagnosis with other parents. If it were me I would apologize for his behavior and tell them that you are working with him to help him find other ways to deal with his frustrations, or something similar to that. Don't let him use ODD as an excuse for his behavior, he still has to own it and change it. Has depression been ruled out? Often children act out angry when they are depressed. Also has substance abuse been ruled out? Nancy [/QUOTE]
