Have you looked into ODD? It's commorbid with ADHD.
I was Just thinking this
When I was young I was friends with someone who behaved this way. It was ODD and ADHD, does he get aggressive when restricted? Also does he usually manipulate people around him to avoid being restricted?
With all due respect, ODD isn't really a thing. What you're describing is a presentation of autism that's becoming known as PDA. It very commonly occurs with ADHD.
ODD "is listed in the DSM-5 under Disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders and defined as "a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness".[2] This behavior is usually targeted toward peers, parents, teachers, and other authority figures, including law enforcement officials"
"Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) or extreme demand avoidance (EDA) is a proposed disorder, and sub-type of autism spectrum disorder, defined by characteristics such as a demand avoidance."
I'm not dismissive of PDA, but only ODD is a recognized disorder.
