[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 417671"] This sounds so much like my son used to be. He was also diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. I agree with JJJ, I would seriously have him evaluated for Asperger's. Their struggles, among others, are exactly what you just stated, "doesn't get it socially" and "everything is everyone else's fault" and "wants their own way". It turned out that my son's ODD never was ODD at all. I was recently told it has been Asperger's Disorder all along and we didn't know it because no one screened him for that. It wasn't until I really dug for the WHY of his behavior that I realized it was something else and asked for more thorough evaluations. He had very real (though distorted) ideas about other people's reasons for their actions. I would at least look into it. Many of us here believe that ODD is more of a symptom of something else. Keep an open mind and keep digging. [/QUOTE]
