[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 456952, member: 12721"] Upon doing some research I came across ODD. My niece exhibits many of the symptoms. She isn't however defiant against ALL authority, just my Mom for the most part. Sometimes my stepfather.. but she has this special rapport with him that her defiance against him is more limited, but he may not "deal" with situations in the most effective manner. Interesting how it's that way when my mom has more effective techniques. She simply seems to hate my Mom, and explodes on her calling her horrible names and saying things her Mother- who has lost custody of her, says about my Mom. And she isn't this way ALL of the time. Mostly it occurs when she doesn't get her way, or has something (i.e. cell phone) taken away. I do have another post with tons of family history and background information. I will be happy to repost if anyone needs to. I tried to post a signature but it turns up blank..? I read on a few posts here that ODD is a useless diagnosis. Is this true? My niece is currently on Vyvanse and Intuniv for ADHD I believe. She does have many underlying emotional issues which leads to her behavior.She displays so many of the symptoms.
