[QUOTE="seriously, post: 451959, member: 11920"] Well, there are pro's and con's to having someone describe your child as "complex and interesting". One con is that she may not have the depth of experience to be able to accurately diagnose his issues and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Her lengthy list of diagnosis also suggests this. If she's helping and it's what you have to work with - then go for it. You are totally correct. ODD is the diagnosis given to a child who is[I] always [/I]oppositional. They say NO every time you say Yes = or anything else for that matter. This is in my humble opinion not a diagnosis that should be given a child who can also be described as "sweet, loving, wants to please adults". ODD kids do NOT want to please adults or anyone else for that matter. It's good that you are doing a more thorough assessment. On balance I think I would not ask this therapist for any kind of letter/report. It will probably just stir things up without actually helping. The school may do a screening audiology test that is VERY basic. [/QUOTE]
