[QUOTE="keista, post: 461653, member: 11965"] I've seen ADHD stand alone. As a matter of fact two of my girls' friends have this diagnosis. in my opinion they are typical ADHD presentations. IOW they are easily distracted and prone to hyperactivity. They are great kids who just need constant redirection. Over the years, most of the kids I've met with ADHD presented similarly. Indeed some might label them as ODD because it seems as if they [B]refuse[/B] to comply with an adult's request to sit still, etc. But all they do is not comply because they can't. They've never gone into rages because and adult told them to sit still or told them what to do. I firmly believe the combined ADHD/ODD dxes are something else. [B]Malika[/B], can you post links to the symptom lists you found? When I search symptoms for the two, there is some overlap, but some very obvious differences. If on the other hand, you are reading parent stories, then they certainly can be the same since kids are mis-diagnosed ALL the time. [/QUOTE]
