[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 117532, member: 1550"] Have you ever thought to take these kids for a different type of evaulation, like a neuropsychologist or a Psychiatrist (with the MD)? As others have stated ODD rarely stands alone and is not really a useful diagnosis. It doesn't explain WHY the ODD and doesn't get to the bigger disorder that is causing it--often mood disorders (which do need medication) and run in families or autistic spectrum disorders, which need very specific interventions and therapy doesn't help much as it's not a psychiatric issue. It does manifest as such, but it's neurological and hereditary. I wouldn't accept that the girls just have ODD. And I'd try somebody else to treat them. You don't have to live this way. With the proper diagnosis and treatment the ODD behaviors can literally disappear. I'm not a big fan of therapists--they never really helped me or diagnosed me right (I have bipolar) and they also missed the boat with my son (he has high functioning autism.) I'd take it to a more credentialed professional. Did any of your kids have speech or developmental delays? WELCOME!!!!! [/QUOTE]
