ChasingTwo: I really don't think my DS in on the spectrum. He has enough quirks that various people have asked whether he's been tested, but every professional who has gotten to know him has said that diagnosis doesn't fit. He had an ADOS and some rating scales done at the same time as the IQ test that effectively ruled it out.
puffin, I completely agree about ODD being kind of a BS diagnosis. Now that my son is in a more appropriate environment and not waking up ready for battle every single morning, the "ODD" is basically nonexistent now.
