Oppositional Defiant Disorder, a co-morbid disorder associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders

See on Scoop.it - Psychology Matters


Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a theory proposed to explain an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures that goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior.

Some researchers believe that ODD is symptomatic of other disorders in children such as ADHD, depression, or bipolar disorder. Oppositional defiant disorder may, therefore, be an indication that some underlying disorder exists.
