Our daughter was recently diagnosed with ODD. She mainly displays the behavior at home and with the people who love her most – myself, my husband and my mother (she says she doesn’t misbehave at school because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself). However lately, it seems to be trickling into...

I don't even know where to start. I haven't posted here in a long time. My 9 year old difficult child is a total puzzle to me. Maybe I have been in denial the last 5 years.

So difficult child went to his 2nd appointment with the new psychiatrist and she confirmed that he has Aspergers and ADHD.
