[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 377650, member: 1550"] Pleases take her to a neuropsychologist. Most of us oldtimers here are "iffy" on ODD as a diagnosis. It is more a symptom than the big picture. All of the kids listed here are defiant, but they different reasons for being defiant. Has she ever had a complete evaluation? She could have a mood disorder, Aspergers, an emerging personality disorder, lots of things. But ODD doesn't stand alone and ADHD doesn't explain all of her negativity. I'd also be open to both medications and a good psychiatrist after having a neuropsychologist do the testing (they are very intensive 6-10 hours). ODD is usually given to very young kids who defy an early diagnosis. Good luck, regardless of what you decide to do :) Also be careful of recreational drug use at her age. It is common with our differently wired children. [/QUOTE]
