[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 219506"] The psychologist is right in that you're not going to fix him, you're going to teach him. There is no cure for ADHD. There is no cure for any of the disorders our kids have. Our kids have to be taught how to cope with them. And we have to learn how to re-parent, so to speak. We have to learn how to parent specifically to our child. The ODD behaviors your son is exhibiting is most likely a manifestation of his inability to cope with his ADHD. Once he learns how to cope, and with the right medications if needed, the behaviors should subside. My daughter exhibits strong ODD behavior, yet not one therapist, psychologist, social worker, neuropsychologist or psychiatrist in the 8 years we've been at this has ever suggested she has ODD. A couple of her tdocs have called it a 'garbage-bin diagnosis'. It does exist. It's just extremely over-diagnosed. [/QUOTE]
