[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 342609, member: 3444"] Welcome unsure! We're glad you found us, but sorry you had to. Has your difficult child ever had private testing done outside the school setting? Schools are not really qualified to diagnose kids in my opinion. ODD in and of itself is really not a diagnosis as it typically stems from another underlying issue or even a complex of disorders. The ODD is the behavior you see as a result of the real problem. Once you identify and begin to treat the foundational disorder, the ODD should start to resolve. It's got to be very hard for your husband to essentially not be allowed to parent his stepson. He needs to be included in whatever diagnostic process and/or treatment program your difficult child eventually receives if he's to ever be able to constructively help you in raising difficult child. And you surely do not want to have to do this all by yourself! Others will chime in here with some more suggestions on where to start in getting appropriate help for difficult child. I hope you find this site to be as helpful and supportive as I have! [/QUOTE]
