It was given for Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

This is anecdotal, but both boys I know who have been diagnosed have mentally ill (I am too, not judging, but they both have this in common) mothers who are overly dominating and don't allow the boys any choice in their lives. Bessel van derk Kolk in The Body Keeps the Score is very skeptical of this new diagnosis, as well.

So it’s “sick of your shit, you’re not even the boss of me!” disorder

In the cases I know, yeah, it seems that way. I'm not surprised - there had to be a consequence/pushback of the helicopter parent/overly scheduled/afraid to be outside childhood.

with a probation officer like that, I think we would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't have Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
