[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 583002, member: 1550"] NHi there. I am also wondering who diagnosed your daughter because in my opinion it sounds worse than ADHD/ODD to me too. Many of us feel ODD is a rather useless diagnosis t hat is used when the diagnostician has no idea what is really wrong and is not qualified to do intensive testing. I would highly recommend having her neuropsychologist tested as more is probably going on than what you know and things can get better if you know which devil you face.Can you give us some of her early background info, including her infancy and toddlerhood behavior...delays, if she cuddled, if she made and makes good strong eye contact with family AND strangers, if she can tolerate noises, crowds, all material textures, if she can transition from one activity to another (this is big). How does s he socialize with her same age peers? I am thinking that if she rages almost every day to the point of drooling, a bigger disorder is going on than any she has been diagnosed with yet and she probably needs interventions and/or maybe medication too. Behavioral modification does NOT work for our differently wired children. They need creative parenting from experts beyond just plain therapists. Welcome to the board! [/QUOTE]
