[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 39049"] Welcome! You are in the right place as many of our kids have ODD symptoms that go along with their many varied diagnoses. As others have stated, ODD is rarely a stand alone diagnosis. Think of it as more of a basket of symptoms with an underlying cause. You're on the right track by getting into counseling. Your counselor should be able to point you in the direction of the next step, whether it be a psychiatrist, neuropsyc, etc. It seems to vary state to state on what professional is the preferred diagnostician for kids. I was told by our Children's Hospital Behavioral Health that their outpatient psychiatrists don't diagnose. They rely on the diagnosis of the therapist (psychologist, social worker, etc). They will confirm or deny the diagnosis and prescribe medication. I didn't read all of the other's posts, but I'm sure someone recommended the book, The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. These kids don't respond to so-called traditional parenting and we have to look at different ways of parenting these kids. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
