[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 39014, member: 1550"] I agree. Have her evaluated by a neuropsychologist (in my opinion, they are the best, most comprehensive, knowledgeable testers and we've tried them all). ODD behavior is rarely a stand alone diagnosis--most of our kids have ODD, but it is caused by something else, usually a bigger disorder, and therapists and even psychologist often don't run enough tests or take enough time to see what's really going on. If you're child has not recently been intensely evaluated, I'd do it. NeuroPsychs can be found in university and children's hospitals. in my opinion, the next best professional is a child Psychiatrist (with the MD). As parents, we read a lot and tend to diagnose our own kids, but sometimes we don't know all about the various disorders and in my opinion again it's best to have a top-notch professional test and do the diagnosing. It's hard enough to get it right even when you do, and your child is getting older. If she isn't diagnosed right, those teen years may be vicious.
