I just wrote about how ADHD and ODD can seem like they same condition but they are very different.

ADHD and ODD are often mixed up. The problem with that is ODD is a lot different. With Oppositional Defiant Disorder defiance is at the core of the condition. Telling a child with ODD to do something is like lighting a fire under them. They will do the opposite. The more you push for one thing. The more they will push back.
I wish you luck is your treatments with ODD. Be sure to know what you are dealing with!
