[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 235374, member: 1550"] Hi there. She sounds like a difficult child, but 7 is way too young for Conduct Disorder. She may not even have any sort of mental illness, but a neurological deficit instead. Have you ever had her completely evaluated by a neuropsychologist? (This is a Psychologist who has extra training in the brain and is NOT the same as a pediatric neurologist. They test way different). If you haven't seen one with your child, I would do so. I also think this is not really a cause and effect thing (although I'm sure that didn't help). But I think you should have her completely evaluated to see what is causing her behavior and the best professional, the one who is most thorough, is a neuropsychologist. You can find them at university and children's hospitals. I agree that ODD is pretty much a "nothing" diagnosis. that says the kid is defiant. Well, we know that and all our kids have been defiant and at one time. However, it doesn't tell us the reason for the defiance. I'd check further. If she has sensory issues and is socially clueless, I'd be wondering about Aspergers. It could be many things, which is why a good diagnostician should check her out. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
