[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 461587, member: 11791"] You are wise to seek outside help. While you're in the process... the book is a good one, too. It will help you wrap your head around an alternative view-point, one that many of us have found helpful. ODD "fits" all kinds of kids, but it isn't a useful diagnosis, most of the time. There are SO many other things that can be going on, some of them very subtle. She may be dealing with very real issues that you do not see at this point. Anything from the effects of her past, to hidden learning disabilities, among other things. But, there will likely be one or more things going on that are at the root of the behavior. Finding those will be key to getting the right interventions, accommodations - and yes, if necessary, medications. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
