[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 7738, member: 2423"] Most good child psychiatrists won't give out the diagnosis of ODD at all. My difficult child 1 probably meets in full the criteria for ODD, but he has never been diagnosed with it. That's because his mood issues and ADHD drive his ODD behaviors. There is no way we could have figured out at age 4 why he was defiant. It took observation over time, a lot of neuropsychologist testing and an excellent psychiatrist to put it all together for us (and we're still working on finetuning the diagnosis). As TM suggests, the best thing you can do is describe in great detail (without editorial commentary) the behaviors you see and under what circumstances they appear. In addition to the parent report, you might want to start a daily journal of your difficult child's behaviors. [/QUOTE]
