[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 236565, member: 2423"] ODD and CD do not generally exist together because they're on the same continuum; ODD can turn into CD. However, competent mental health professionals agree that ODD is not a diagnosis unto itself. It is typically fueled by an underlying disorder such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, etc. When the underlying disorder is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors generally subside. If the fights your son got into only occurred while taking ADHD medications, there's a good chance the ADHD medications were responsible for this behavior, not ODD or CD. By the way, a diagnosis of CD is reserved for the over-18 crowd. Definitely retain a Special Education attorney for the manifestation hearing. He/she will tell you what private evaluations to seek to argue your case before the SD. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
