[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611063, member: 1550"] Can you tell us about her history, including your pregnancy and her infancy? Any chaos in her early years? Any other siblings? We (most of us here) don't trust pediatricians as diagnosticians. Many of us like neuropsychs and they do have long waiting lists because of their demand. Any psychiatric problems in her genetic family tree? Genes are HUGE. To me, a layperson mom, it sounds like more than ADHD and many of us here do not think the ODD label is useful and just means "defiant child." But it doesn't tell us why. I don't care for the ODD label and it is rarely given by neuropsychs and psychiatrists (higher level mental health professionals). Neuropsychs do intensive 6-10 hours of testing. I would not personally see any professional who is an "expert" in any one diagnosis. They tend to see THAT diagnosis in everything. Welcome to the board, but so sorry you have to be here. Can you do a signature, like I did below? Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
