[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 225480, member: 2423"] Welcome, doglover. I'm glad you found us. I personally don't find the ODD diagnosis very helpful. It describes a set of behaviors that are typically fueled by an underlying disorder (think of ODD as a symptom rather than a diagnosis unto itself). When the underlying disorder is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors generally improve. I suspect this psychologist may not have gotten to the root of your difficult child's issues. Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us help you: Is he better, worse or about the same since starting Strattera? What dose is he taking? Has he ever tried other medications, and if so, what was his reaction? How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? Any speech or developmental delays? Any sensory issues (for example, sensitivity to clothing tags, loud noises, food textures)? Any mental health issues or substance absue in the family tree? What kind of reading and math learning disabilities have been identified by the school? Were these corroborated in the private testing? Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
