My question is about the adhd/odd connection. What treatment s are available for an adult with these conditions. I was undiagnosed as a child and suffered thru life until i was finally diagnosed at 47.

My 12 year old son has never “officially” been diagnosed with ODD, but has been with ADD. He exhibits all the signs of ODD – all the time – when not on his methylphenidate medication for his ADD. When not on his medication, he never willing complies to any request that is made of him.
He always argues back, retaliates, lies, or refuses to cooperate. When on his medication, he can still be defiant and oppositional, but not as often or to the degree that he is when not on medication. Is the medication helping treat ODD, or is it just giving him more pause between thought and impulsive reaction.

I have always assumed that ODD is common with ADD people because they are non-conformists, and smart enough to see the underlying nonsense and hidden agendas in many rules and social expectations.

So called ‘normal’ people are so able to conform to nonsense rules, that I do wonder if half the world is just stupid.
