[quote=Anonymous]We have a DS who meets the criteria for ODD but it's secondary to his ADHD and LD. He's generally a very sensitive, empathic kid but will go into full battle mode if we ask him to do something and he doesn't feel like it (poor transitions) or if he perceives injustice (very black & white thinker). He gets emotionally stuck and may destroy property, threaten to hurt/kill himself, scream "I hate you!", etc, etc. He also sometimes gets in moods where he deliberately antagonizes people though he never actually sets out to hurt anyone. His psychologist feels he falls into the majority of kids with ODD who will outgrow the behavior as he matures and, at 8, he has already made significant strides. His anxiety medication also helps. He's also sometimes the sweetest, most helpful, loving kid ever ... it really has to do with his poor emotional regulation and ADHD. [/quote]
