[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 65410, member: 1550"] Personally, since ODD almost never is the only thing going on, I'd take her for a more intensive evaluation. She has some markers for things that are beyond ODD and what can look like ODD can be happening because of other childhood disorders. I would take her for a Multi Disciplinary Evaluation at a children's or university hospital for have her tested by a neuropsychologist (very intensive testing). It's not a good idea to try to diagnose yourself based on symptoms. Yes, she has ODD symptoms as do almost all the kids here, but the ODD is caused by different things. And getting to the core of the problem is what helps the most. Not cuddling is NOT an ODD symptom--it could be a neurological problem. I would take the evaluation process further (this is from long experience with wrong diagnosis. and frustrations, etc.) I would want her tested for high functioning autism/Aspergers (these kids are often extremely bright, but rigid and difficult and don't like change) as well as other neurological issues. A neuropsychologist (not Neurologist) is best for that. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
