“attention deficit disorder” sounds like something made up by teachers who are bad at teaching.
EDIT: sorry forgot the /s, which is really needed after the original post has been removed. The original post was dismissing ODD as something made up by bad parents.
Nah it’s a real thing and if you don’t have experience or education regarding it your opinion that it “sounds like” something else is worth less than the dirt you walk on
noshit its real. My post was mocking how OP was dismissing ODD using the same logic. Just as ADHD isn’t the fault of bad teachers, ODD isn’t the fault of bad parents.
And it’s shitty to blame parents already having to contend with a special needs child as though it’s their fault for not being better parents.
Yeah, I did word that comment very poorly. That said, an article linked down in the thread did list environment (particularly, parental neglect or abuse) as one of the possible causes of ODD. In no way is it a defense of the original (now removed) comment, but it being real doesn’t make bad parents good. Just as ADHD being real doesn’t make bad teachers good.

As a person diagnosed with ADHD, I sometimes do feel like the name was made up by teachers who are bad at teaching, no sarcasm…
