[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 521485"] Looking at your signature, the only diagnosis was from the school??? They aren't legally allowed to diagnose. They can assess for services but not diagnose. As for the ODD, that's just a catchall for "she doesn't like being told what to do but we don't know why so we'll give her this label". When you mention her raging over not getting what she wants, that is typical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) behavior. It's called change of mindset and kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) really struggle with this. They get an idea in their head and to them, that is what IS going to be. Then when it doesn't happen that way, they don't know what to do so they act out. If she has speech delays, she probably doesn't have the ability to put her frustration and anger and anxiety into words. That can be additionally frustrating for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids which will fuel the rages. Is she lying and stealing or is she telling you HER truth and taking what she doesn't really realize isn't hers. Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have a harder time differentiating between the two. difficult child 1 "lies" when he is simply telling me his perspective on things. To me they are lies but to him they are his reality. He really does think differently. difficult child 1 also picks up things that interest him when he sees it laying somewhere. He never stops to think that something like loose change really BELONGS to anyone, it was just laying there. These are issues we are working on constantly. Self-injurious behavior in a kid with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can be extreme sensory seeking. Has she ever been evaluated by an Occupational Therapist NOT associated with the school?
