[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 201523, member: 3907"] Hello Patwells and welcome, MidwestMom has some good questions for you, which might help us to point you in the right direction for support, strategies and help. Some of the characteristics you describe in your daughter do sound a bit Autism-spectrum-ish to me. Sensory integration issues, literal thinking, difficulty with transitions, interpreting your words literally. ODD is often a symptom of an underlying disorder, as your child is expressing frustration that things aren't going right in her head. Lots of us have started out with a diagnosis of ADHD or ODD or both, only to later discover underlying conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum disorders, mood disorders, etc. I agree with MWM that a neuropsychologist evaluation will help you to pinpoint what's going on with your daughter. In the meantime, a few of resources that many of us on CD have found useful: Love and Logic [url]http://www.loveandlogic.com/[/url] Child Brain childbrain.org The book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene Trinity [/QUOTE]
