[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has he been tested for ODD? I try to envision what it’s like to be him. He can’t focus and has difficulty with the work because of his ADHD so he has given up. The way he is being taught is not working (and his parents don’t get it repeating the same study methods that don’t work). He is flailing, likely depressed so self medicating with alcohol and lashing out. The kid needs help. He will likely never learn in a traditional school setting. You need to get a handle on this now.[/quote] ODD is not really a diagnosis IMO, it results from other issues (such as the ADHD). A lot of knowledgeable professionals agree. OP, you might read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It does apply to teens, not just young children. [/quote]
