Talk with your doctor, keep a chart of her behavior for the doctor to look at (include all behavior, times, how long each episode lasted, etc.)If she is in school ask them to do the same. This is how my son was diagnosed odd. This also helps the doctors when looking for this type of thing, and they will help you with the next step if need be.

I have always thought the same thing about my dauhter, with the ODD. I think the compulsive traits go hand in hand with ADHD. My daughhter always has to have the last word. She puts in her two cents every time I tell her to do something. I never get a yes mom. She is the oldest, 11 now, and I could ask her to go to bed at midnight and she would find a way to drag her feet and hem and haw all the way. I have learned to get around this by reminding her to stop. I don't let her speak. I don't get mad. I show her an open hand and close my hand and say shh go do what I said. Sometimes I have to raise my voice repeating it until she gets my point. She walks off with an attitude and it makes me angry but whatever. She does what I am asking her to do. I make sure she has her meds, they help a bunch. I sympathize with her mostly, it must suck to constantly feel like she has to fight the world. I gave up the physical punishment, the only thing that did was push her further into her recesses. I talk to her ALOT. At seven I found my time with her alone. Give her one on one attention. Seven was when she told me she wanted to murder me, to my dismay. Life has gotten much better, I work more with her reasoning, than punishing negative behavior. I almost think they like the fight, take it away, don't fight. Hang in there mom, kids with ADHD do have their amazing qualities, we just have to bring it out. Be creative, think of ways to be quicker than she is.

If the child does have ODD. I'm learning you have to make situations a choice. And you have to develope a type of reward system.
And if they go into rages the best thing to do is ignore the chil and in just a few mins the rage is over with.
