Answer to Question 1

Early-onset conduct disorder is associated with later development of antisocial personality
disorder, or other social dysfunction. It appears that the earlier that antisocial behavior
becomes apparent, the more likely that it will continue and become a lifelong behavioral
pattern.

Answer to Question 2

The key characteristics of oppositional defiant disorder are persistent negativism,
disobedience, and hostile behavior toward authority figures. This pattern must last at least
six months and usually begins by age 6. Conduct disorder involves many of the same
behaviors but usually has its onset at age 9 or later. While about one-quarter of children
who have oppositional defiant disorder go on to develop conduct disorder, virtually every
child with conduct disorder had oppositional defiant disorder earlier in life.
