[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have experience parenting an ODD DS (14)? Newly diagnosed and we are floored in some ways but not surprised in others. Oldest, adopted with three younger sibs (all birth kids who are relatively easier). Minor depression but no other issues diagnosed. Help.[/quote]

Meh, more likely attachment issue than ODD.  - signed, an adoptive mom[/quote]

She has a diagnosis in hand.  Take your arm chair dismissiveness and leave.  Retread her post and then yours.  Unempathetic, unhelpful, and rude...starting at your first word.  You being an adoptive mom of A kid doesn't make you an expert in HER kid.[/quote]

Because no diagnosis has ever been wrong? As an adoptive mom, I have seen plenty of therapist with not enough experience with adoption make an alphabet of diagnosis and be wrong. And yes, attachment issues can be present even when a child is adopted as an infant.[/quote]

She isn't asking if you think the diagnosis is wrong.  You also don't say perhaps it could be something else or were other diagnoses explored!  You say it is,"most likely" an attachment issue.  You have NO idea if that is true.  Also, starting a response to her clearly heartfelt post with, "meh" is rude and dismissive.  Hope you are warmer in real life.[/quote]
