[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 75402, member: 1550"] Very seldom does ODD stand alone. It is more a behavior than the disorder itself. All the kids here have ODD behavior, but it stems from other things--ADHD, bipolar, autistic spectrum disorder. I have a few questions. 1/ What type of professional diagnosed him? I'm guessing a Psycologist because a neuropsychologist or Psychiatrist (with the MD) rarely diagnose stand alone ODD. 2/ Any psychiatric issues or substance abuse on the family tree? Much of this can be hereditary. You need to take both sides of the family into consideration. 3/Any speech or developmental delays? 4/How are his social skills and eye contact? Others will come along. My opinion is to re-evaluate him with either a Child Psychiatrist or neuropsychologist or both. That's what we had to do (both) to get the real answer to our questions. Welcome! [/QUOTE]
