[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 74618, member: 1550"] ODD is a symptom that almost every single child on this board has. It rarely travels alone. ADHD is often misdiagnosed and is very often a first diagnosis but is also often not the last one. It is impossible to tell you what to expect tomorrow, but I'd just keep an open mind and, at the same time, take it with a grain of salt. You have a three year old--it is nearly impossible to nail the right diagnosis at that age. When the child gets older, then you get a better idea of what is going on. What I'd do is have him evaluated/tested in all areas of his functioning so that you can get him help/interventions in Early Education, even if it's just emotional support for him. That is given thru the school district and gives you free hours to recover for his arrival home. My son was dxd. ADHD/ODD at three, but it wasn't right. He went through several diagnosis. before he got the right one. I'd concentrate more on how to help him. If he has any delays or motor skills issues, I'd want them addressed in school. Most of all, relax. At his age, nothing is written in stone. [/QUOTE]
