[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 160835, member: 1514"] I have my doubts that an infant...not even a toddler could be diagnosed with something like ODD but that doesnt mean they cant be difficult. Babies, just like people, come with temperaments. Some are just more contrary than others. Some babies you can tell right out of the gate are going to be easy going, funny, people pleasing kids. Others are going to be active, hard to soothe, fussy, bossy little beings. 1 of mine was the first, 1 of mine was a combo of them and one of mine was the latter. My oldest grand daughter seems to be the first way and my second seems to be heading into the latter. She is a finicky little thing who wants her way and only her way. I have a feeling she is going to give her parents a run for their money. But I have also met a baby that I knew...just knew...in my gut from the time that child was maybe 6 months old that there was something just not right with the child. She didnt interact with people appropriately. There was none of that baby cooing or making faces or giggles that you get from babies. She had these blank stares going on. She didnt attempt baby sounds. But she was extremely active...extremely. I thought autistic spectrum from early on and tried to steer the parents to early intervention with no luck. She still acts autistic and she is almost 4. I guess maybe it will get picked up in school. There is just that look...and the out of control behavior. [/QUOTE]
