Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Sometimes children with ADHD also have what's called an oppositional defiant disorder. This is characterized by persistent defiance and disobedience toward authority figures. The symptoms usually include:
- Frequent arguing with adults
- Deliberately annoying other people
- Refusing to follow rules
- Blaming others for their mistakes
- Becoming easily angry
- Behaving in a vindictive manner
Children with ODD display symptoms at home, at school, and in other environments. Their behavior usually leads to a need for frequent disciplinary action and they tend to struggle to get along with their peers. Without intervention, ODD may develop into conduct disorder.
