[QUOTE="keista, post: 523787, member: 11965"] Yes, Ritalin can most definitely help with ODD when the root cause of ODD is ADHD. If you research enough, you will find "evidence" of every medication helping with ODD. It's because like I stated before once you start to fix the underlying cause, ODD will start to fade. That could be because the dxes aren't 100% right, but that's the best they can get to without a full evaluation. neuropsychologist is most desirable. Short of that, you want someone who has extensive experience in all areas of behavioral psychology. For me, that person turned out to be a school psychologist who did independent evaluations as well as consulting with a neighboring school district. My DD1's original dxes were depression and anxiety. She still has both designations, but since she was also identified as an Aspie, so much makes more sense. Like why she "suddenly" gets depressed when we go to my dad's house. She doesn't. She just feel absolutely awkward interacting with him and his wife. I didn't' even realize she was skipping basic pleasantries like saying hello when we walked in the door. So now, we're working on these most basic of skills. Now that I see her as an Aspie and know she's not just being a witch with a b due to depression, life is so much better. I am in no way saying this is your case, but there could be something subtle missing. Or it could simply be depression and anxiety, and he works really hard to keep himself "together" and presentable outside the home so what when he gets home, he just falls apart. [/QUOTE]
