[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 76183, member: 1550"] Almost everyone who first comes here thinks their child has ODD. There's a reason for that. Most of them have ODD symptoms. However ODD behavior is almost always connected to a bigger issue, and without an evaluation you won't know what that is. Most of us have figured out that the ODD stuff comes with almost every childhood disorder, but is just a part of it. I like NeuroPsychs the best though. They test the kids in every area. Your daughter has symptoms from mood disorders to maybe strange LDs or anxiety problems to high functioning forms of autism and a neuropsychologist can best see where she falls and what her strengths and weaknesses are and can give you real clues as to what makes her tick. A regular psycologist who runs no tests isn't going to have the knowledge to tell you what to do--even developmental pediatricians are often stumped. There is nobody here who can tell you what is wrong with your child. I have a few links you can read and check out. She almost sounds Aspergers, if I was to make a layperson's mom gut diagnosis, but, of course, I can't diagnose. Go to a neuropsychologist so you can get her into school interventions because something isn't right and it most likely is not just ODD. One question: how is her eye contact and social skills with peers? Welcome to the board! [/QUOTE]
