[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 34137, member: 1550"] I'd also make sure she had a multidisciplinary exam. She has some red flags for things beyond ODD and I'd want her checked out more thoroughly. We haven't had much luck with regular psychologists making good diagnosis. Most kids here have ODD, but it rarely stands alone as THE diagnosis. Usually it is the result of a bigger disorder--a child's mood disorder or a form of autism, etc. which triggers defiance. I strongly recommend looking beyond what this psychologist told you. Unfortunately, the first diagnosis, especially for a young kid, is rarely the whole picture and, if not caught, the child can get worse instead of better. We went through this. With all the professionals we saw, we didn't get the right diagnosis. or right help until our son was 11, and then everything clicked and things REALLY improved. It takes perseverance. Hugs and good luck [/QUOTE]
