Many children grow out of it, or actually have severe ADHD but are misdiagnosed.
Some children with ODD do grow up to have personality disorders like sociopathy or narcissistic personality disorder. I believe this is what happened with Trump.

This article, while not one of the scholarly, has a lot of interesting detail that definitely relates to Trump. The comorbid ADHD and narcissism and ODD....that's trouble.
