[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 187432, member: 1550"] Wow. To me, not a teacher but a mom of a child with very high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who is also exposed to other kids who have it in our social support group, she sounds classically Aspergers. Is there some reason you don't want her tested? Frankly, I'd take her to a neuropsychologist. ODD rarely stands alone. I think all our kids are textbook ODDers...lol...but that is rarely the only thing going on. Your child has lots of red flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)--I'd look into it. Can't hurt to test her (it's hard enough to get young ASDers correctly diagnosed, may as well start now). If you don't test her, that's what may hurt her. No two kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) act the same. If she acts out in school, she IS going to get that "bad kid" label. Best to find out why she acts out to avoid that too. She could be helped A LOT if she is that bright. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
