[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 93284, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. I'd like to agree that a six year old can maybe control herself for three days, but kids don't wake up to make our lives miserable and I'm wondering who diagnosed her. I have a few questions: One is who diagnosed her...am I redundant? LOL. What sort of professional? Was it a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD) or a neuropsychologist (a psycologist who tests extensively, and has extra training in the brain?) I wouldn't trust a diagnosis that came from anywhere else and I would probably want a second opinion. Were these kids exposed to drugs or alcohol in utero? Any mood problems or substance abuse on the family tree on either side? It could be an inherited psychiatric illness--that's common. Any speech delays or cognitive problems? How does she get along with peers her own age? ODD is more of an explanation of behavior (defiant behavior) than a useful diagnosis and it rarely travels alone. Has your child been on any medication? Is she now? Others will come along too. [/QUOTE]
