An 8-year-old student in your class has been deliberately destroying property in the third-grade classroom for several (6) months. 3 months before that, he was starting fights with his friends back home. The family recently moved into the school district from out of state. A likely outcome of a diagnostic outcome could be:

  1. Oppositional Defiant Disorder
  2. Conduct Disorder
  3. Adjustment Disorder, Mixed Episode
  4. Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Explanation

Answer - C - The most likely diagnosis, given circumstances, would be Adjustment Disorder, Mixed Episode. After all, considering that the student just moved across the country and was made to leave his friends behind, there are likely other circumstances at play. And when he found out about needing to move at the end of second grade, he could have been acting out so that it would be easier for him to leave.
