[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 640614, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome, Who gave the ODD diagnosis? Personally, we've found ODD to only be useful as a "placeholder" diagnosis - something that acknowledges that there is a problem (i.e. not just in the parents' heads), but doesn't allow for treatment. Usually, ODD is a symptom of something else. First you need to know what is really going on, and it will be multiple layers. And of course, he is 18, so... you can't force anything in terms of evaluations or treatment, he has to agree to be compliant. But I'd be suspecting that one of the layers is depression... and that really kills any drive for independence. [/QUOTE]
