[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 162859, member: 1550"] Ok, welcome to our little corner of the world. ODD is very rarely a stand alone diagnosis and is so devastating because the blame is placed on parenting. I personally don't believe ODD EVER stands alone nor does my psychiatrist. He thinks there is always something triggering the ODD behavior, such as a mood disorder or autistic spectrum disorder. Have you ever read about Aspergers Syndrome? I don't have a clue if he has it, but he does sound like he could, and it could mimic ODD. I ask because there is SO MUCH HOPE for these uber-bright kids with Aspergers...they tend to be literal thinkers and lack social skills, but are highly intelligent and can learn, with help, to understand people better. I would take him to see a neuropsychologist. They do more intensive evaluations than regular psycologists and know about both neurological and psychiatric disorders (two for one). My son was tested for ten hours, which greatly helped us. I wish both of you good luck. More advice will come along. [/QUOTE]
