Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) is on the autistic spectrum, which is characterised by disobedient and hostile behaviour, especially to authority figures, that goes beyond normal childhood behaviour.  With ODD the individual has an inability to control their anger and frustration, even in circumstances that would seem trivia to others. Many children with ODD also have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Bipolar Disorder or Depression.
