You don't have kids, do you Matt? Just curious as to why you want to know.
ODD = Oppositional Defiant Disorder, a label often applied to young boys. I think it's a genuine disorder that is also sometimes a label of convenience for schools. I do think my son has it, though, not saying he doesn't. It's a rather mild conduct disorder, rather frustrating to deal with, though I've had some success with a cognitive approach. In my son's case I believe it to be due to a build-up of frustration with teachers telling him he is stupid/lazy/ a pain because his handwriting does not meet their specifications. That's enough for an overview. I can go deeper if people are really interested. He is also ADHD-diagnosed, no question at all that this diagnosis is accurate. I'd say the ADHD and dysgraphia are primary, possibly genetic, and the ODD is secondary due to poor educational experiences in the past.
