[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675019, member: 11791"] ODD is a diagnosis I tend to stay away from. It can be useful as a placeholder - recognition that something else is at work here but we don't know what it is yet. There are absolutely NO therapies or medications that have any impact on ODD. There are, however, dozens of other diagnoses that can generate the same symptoms, either as part of the diagnosis, or from frustration in not having their real needs met in the first place. Dealing with the REAL diagnosis is the only thing that has worked for us. I'm [B][U]not[/U][/B] saying this is what she has... but go look up Asperger's Syndrome. It's part of the autism spectrum. Difficulties in communication, interpersonal relationships, transitions, sensory issues... and lots of lashing out. Lots of high-functioning kids on the autism spectrum have been labeled ODD. When I was trying to figure out what was causing my challenging kid's problems... I could see the child's behaviors in a dozen potential diagnoses. Scared myself stiff. I'm glad I did the research, though - it led to asking lots of questions, some of which got us partial answers. And partial answers are better than none at all. Try getting your hands on a copy of "The Explosive Child" by Dr. Ross Greene. It put a whole different perspective on things for our family. [/QUOTE]
