[QUOTE="buddy, post: 528967, member: 12886"] HI there, sounds like you are right to be concerned, as we all here are for our kids, so welcome to the club! I agree with the others. Sounds like there needs to be more done. My son would laugh when people fell etc. at that age and it is seen in several kinds of disorders including autism and my son has a brain injury. Kids with bipolar and these other issues dont really understand how other people feel, it doesn't really mean the same thing to them. It sure gets people worked up though and that is hard to deal with. My son has clear, obvious, medically testable diagnoses and STILL if we go to a mental health facility they add ODD....folks are right, it simply describes behavior and often can lead esp. places like schools (in my humble opinion) to think they are kids who are simply choosing not to obey or that there is poor parenting so for sure if you can use it to get into services (since at least it is a diagnosis of some kind) work on finding what the real issues are.
