Fun meme and all, but I somehow doubt the author has much experience working with children. Some kids are genuinely little terrors, in that everybody around them tends to have a bad time in their presence (adults, peers, and usually, the kid themselves). "We live in a society" and all that, so not being able to function within that society (especially as a minor since they don't even have the option of living off-grid in the woods as a hermit) is, sorry to say, a problem.
This is also a gross misrepresentation of ODD as defined by the DSM; here's a snippet of the diagnostic requirements (emphasis mine):
A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months as evidenced by at least four symptoms of the following categories, and exhibited during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling:
Angry/Irritable Mood
Argumentative/Defiant Behavior
Vindictiveness
There's also additional qualifiers such as for frequency (they're not pathologizing having a bad day or two).
So no, your "eat the rich" and "ACAB" laptop stickers are not going to get you slapped with an ODD diagnosis.
I like that it specifies "interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling"
The sibling might deserve it. You never know.
