Holy canoli. We're going to have to PM sometime. I have a stepdaugher that her father and I believe has ODD. The closest thing to a "diagnosis" we can get is "ADD" and "Pervasive Developmental Disorder". This whole Casey thing really kind of scares the crap out of me, because I see this 12-year-old doing a lot of the same patterns. She can be caught doing something, you question her about it, and she will say, "I'm not doing it." That story about Casey walking the dog and blatantly lying to her neighbor as a kid hit a little too close to home for me.
