[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 385952, member: 2423"] Clinicians who diagnose ODD do kids and their parents a great disservice. I just attended an all-day workshop this week with Dr. Ross Greene, who wrote [I]The Explosive Child[/I] (which you absolutely should read), and he called ODD a "meaningless disorder." Essentially, ODD is a set of behaviors for which there is an underlying cause. When the underlying cause is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors subside. To obtain a more accurate diagnosis, I recommend locating a neuropsychologist who can do a full evaluation (typically 6 to 10 hours of testing) on your son to figure out what is going on. Neuropsychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. Welcome! We're glad to have you here with us. [/QUOTE]
