[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 50339, member: 3626"] As I said previously, I truly hesitated to post on this site because there was such a dismissal of CD and ODD as stand-alone diagnoses. It doesn't help to hear that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is also dismissed by some. I finally posted in the PE forum because there is less dxing there and I was in tremendous pain. There is no question that the advice and support here are incredible. Recommending multi-disciplinary evaluations is a good thing. Suggesting that a second, third, fourth or even fifth opinion can be very valid. Reminding ourselves that the diagnosis of today can change as more is learned of psychiatric issues and as a child ages is a good thing. However, automatically pooh-poohing a diagnosis of ODD and CD as never standing alone is, I think, harmful. I hope I've offended no one. I also hope that maybe this thread will make it a little easier for a newbie whose child is truly "only" ODD to feel s/he can post here and get help. [/QUOTE]
