[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 447545, member: 11791"] ODD is a very "odd" diagnosis, in that often its used for "we don't know what else to label it". So, ODD can "become" something else... not because the diagnosis really changes, but because some things are not diagnosis'd young, and other things take some "history" to figure out. ADD/ADHD would not be that way... that is, IF the diagnosis is correct in the first place. But ADD/ADHD are frequently misdiagnosed - either diagnosis given when it isn't, or not given when it should be. Anxiety issues, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and some other diagnosis's may play out the same way. So, I'd have to say that sometimes, these can be "place-holder" diagnosis's... especially for serious issues like schitz. But in your case... I'd be pushing some of the less serious issues first. This whole food thing... could be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - obsessive compulsive disorder, or something else on the anxiety disorder spectrum. There may be other possible diagnosis's as well. ADD and/or ODD definitely do not account for that behavior. You might try broadening your range of research... Drug reactions and/or interactions are also a possible explanation, worth exploring. For most things, kids do not "just" grow out of it, but many things, with the right diagnosis and the right help, can learn how to be productive, acceptable members of society. [/QUOTE]
