ODD is strictly applied for minors. Untreated, it can lead to NPD, ASPD, and other comorbidities that we apply to adults, though, for sure

Well, yeah, if it was present in childhood and goes untreated clinically, the symptoms may continue into adulthood, but we typically would look to further/differential diagnoses after that. I'm about to head to sleep but I can look up some more academic sources on the topic tomorrow
