Final Answer :
Most children with conduct disorder have oppositional defiant disorder, and adults with antisocial personality disorder typically show evidence of conduct disorder before age 15. When conduct issues are severe and begin early the trajectory from ODD to CD to APD is robust. This suggests that these three disorders may be part of the same disorder that manifests itself differently as the child gets older.
