Yep, I agree, it's not uncommon at all. When my difficult child's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) was first diagnosis'd and not under control yet (he was 10), he did not have a behavioral problem in school but he was an absolute nightmare at home. No one would've believed what we were dealing with. Although he was suffering, he managed to keep it together all day at school but would completely melt-down at home. Home is a "safe" place.
My difficult child's current p.doctor would probably believe that your difficult child's OD behavior is the result of her Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). He doesn't believe in ODD as a diagnosis. He views it as a behavior with an underlying cause. Maybe once her Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is under control the OD behavior will improve. Excessive anxiety wreaks havoc in anyone, particularly a young child. Good luck.
