[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 528941, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Can you give us a bit more background? It helps us find pieces we can relate to... we're just other parents with challenging kids, but between us, there's a raft of experience. Is she your bio-child? or adopted/step/other? What was she like as a baby? toddler? When did the behaviors start? what are the extreme behaviors? ODD is a strange diagnosis. Most of us around here don't treat it as a primary diagnosis, because... all it does is describe problem behavior. And lets face it, if you're on this site, your child has problem behaviours. But the diagnosis doesn't provide any guidance on how to deal with it, no therapies, interventions, accommodations or medications. Personally? I consider ODD to be a "placeholder" diagnosis. Acknowledgement that something is definitely wrong, but we don't quite know what is going on yet. Who did the diagnoses? When? Any medications? [/QUOTE]
