[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 671620, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome to our little corner of the 'net. This caught my eye: What was she like before age 11? The reason I ask is that some root causes of problems are evident even when they are very young, while other root causes show up in the tween and/or teen years. And sometimes, the problem isn't even a disorder, it's what they have experienced - often outside of the home - that can send them over the edge. I don't really like the ODD diagnosis. It doesn't allow for treatment - there are no recommended therapies for it, no medications. But it does work as a "place holder", an acknowledgement that there is definitely something not normal going on. If the problem started out of the blue at something like 11... I hate to even bring it up, but she could have been molested by someone - at school, at a friend's house, etc. An incident like that can bring out what appears to be defiance when it is really a call for help.
