Now how did I guess a bunch of authority figures would fabricate a mental disorder centered around questioning authority figures and make up the rules themselves?

Our society, especially our schools, are quick to label.
However, ODD is a real disorder. I've worked with children who truly have ODD.
It's not that these children are rebelling against authority (I work with young kids, 6-8). But they lose their collective cool when asked to do something simple, like open your crayon box. This request has resulted in these children throwing extreme tantrums...throwing furniture, punching holes in walls, biting, kicking, punching others, you'd be surprised at how much damage a small child can cause.
It is a real disorder, but I believe it's over-diagnosed.
