How does the behavior of children diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) differ from those diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD)?

A. Children with oppositional defiant disorder often violate the rights of others: This is more characteristic of conduct disorder, not ODD. CD involves aggression, theft, destruction of property, and violation of societal rules, whereas ODD focuses on defiance without serious rights violations. B. Children with oppositional defiant disorder test limits and disobey authority figures: ODD is marked by persistent defiance, argumentative behavior, and refusal to comply with rules or requests from authority figures. The behavior is oppositional but does not typically progress to serious violations of the rights of others. C. Children with conduct disorder have difficulty separating from the parents: Separation difficulties are more aligned with separation anxiety disorder, not conduct disorder. Children with CD often show aggressive and rule-breaking behaviors rather than clinginess. D. Children with conduct disorder use stereotypical or repetitive language: This communication is a feature of autism spectrum disorder. CD is associated with aggression, rule violations, and delinquent behaviors, not repetitive speech patterns.
