[QUOTE="buddy, post: 488884, member: 12886"] Hi my destiny, welcome. First let me say you are so not alone. It is scary and tricky to navigate all this. Typical parents with typical kids just can't understand. I would really suggest you start a "new thread" under general parenting and then we can all chime in. I think you will find some amazing support here. I promise to respond more then but will wait because I dont want my response to be buried in another thread.... If you can, go to settings and start a signature and then people will know more about your situation. You will be asked lots of questions and I will give you a heads up, it is just to help...not to be nosy. So, you can add to your first thread what her birth history is, any early developmental concerns, does she have friends, how does she play with others, does she have any special talents or interests, does she have rapid mood changes, how does she do with transitions?.... What kinds of things set her off??? Here, people dont think much of ODD diagnosis as it just says...there is a problem with behavior. There is nearly always an underlying cause for this. It is the cause that needs intervention. Many kids who are initially labeled adhd/odd have other more all encompassing issues... but it can be severe adhd, and with that she just can't follow directions and so gets so frustrated..... you get the idea. so go ahead and start your thread with as much info as you are comfortable sharing about your little gift from god... difficult child. See you soon..... [/QUOTE]
