[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 315759, member: 1963"] ODD is basically a symptom of one or more underlying conditions. I've realized over the years that *I* have some ODD symptoms--I don't rage (did during my teens though), but if pressured or frightened by something I can't understand, I shut down. As a small child, I ran and hid from whatever upset me. I wasn't being 'bad' or 'defiant'. I was doing those things as they seemed like the only way available for me to cope at the time. Luckily, in this day and age (I'm nearly fifty) we have neuropsychologists who can perform extensive testing to determine underlying causes and give a good diagnosis. Once you can get the underlying disorder better controlled, you will find that a lot of the ODD behaviors ease up. The diagnosis is so important because ODD can be caused by many different things and in many cases they need radically different treatments. I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted. toK [/QUOTE]
