[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 272009, member: 1991"] What I hate about the easy application of the ODD tag, is that depending on the person who applies the ag, what they're really saying ISN'T "this child has a diagnosed medical condition which I am calling ODD," what they're really saying is, ":Your kid won't agree with me or do what I want, and here is the label I'm giving it." Which comes down to - how flexible (or inflexible) is the person applying the label? This again is not to say that ALL people labelling a child as ODD are doing the wrong thing; only that frankly, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt, you need to look for the underlying disorder and don't pin EVERYTHING on the ODD tag. As with a lot of things, if you the parent feel that the biggest issue is related to the Asperger's, chances are you are right. Good for you for spotting it, and make your choices accordingly.
