[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476820, member: 12886"] [SIZE=2]While talking about various things I was saying how oppositional difficult child is at times but how the therapist thought he was so different than the kids on the unit who had ODD as a primary diagnosis (mine certainly has symptoms of oppositionality and can be very defiant at times). He said he could write that difficult child has dozens of things secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Autism, but it doesn't help much unless there is a direct treatment that would benefit him.

He certainly has adhd (times 90) symptoms. he said, actually most kids in the world could probably qualify at some point in their lives. But there are kids who they obviously do use it for, with who dont fall under other diagnosis at the time. He just prefers not to if they can help it. I said I thought it biased people in schools as well. I think the impression is often that these kids choose to be naughty and rude. At least that is my exerience.
