[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 597030, member: 11791"] ODD is... an odd diagnosis. It does accurately describe behavior of many of "our" kids. But... the diagnosis gets you nothing beyond a diagnosis. No interventions, therapies, accommodations, medications. NOTHING. For us, it was a useful placeholder - at least it certified that we were not "crazy parents"... our kid did indeed have a problem. Anxiety is probably a more accurate diagnosis... but only partly. As in, the anxiety is real, and probably is a major factor in the behaviors. But WHY the anxiety? There can be all sorts of reasons. Comprehensive evaluations cover most of the possibilities, but not always. Sometimes Occupational Therapist (OT) (sensory and/or motor skills issues) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)/Auditory evaluations (APDs including auditory figure ground and auditory discrimination) need to be done in addition.
