Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.
These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don’t have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.
These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in ‘problem children’.
The aunt is more the ODD one. My uncle was the more recent interaction of “ignoring the facts because they don’t vibe with his feelings.” Don’t ask me how the hell they stayed married as long as they did.
My partner’s actually got her degree in behavioral pharmacology because what do you mean you told an autist that actually there are rules you can learn for human social bullshit and it’s not all some variation of “because I said so” or “that’s how we always did it” and there’s also a field within that where I don’t even have to really interact with any people? She was going to go super deep into the research route until she learned she was violently allergic to the rats then life just kinda happened from there. Anyway she clocked a lot of that in my aunt after meeting her literally fucking once lmao.
Seeing as I basically no longer consider MAGATs to be truly sentient, much less sapient:

That’s the real tragedy here, damn, that fucking sucks.
Your uncle?
This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.

They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.

EDIT:
Uh, anyway, yeah I’m an autist too, don’t have a degree in psych or pharma, but I do have pattern recognition, curiosity, analytical skills… and a whole fuckton of ©PTSD from my own truly astoundingly dysfunctional family.
As in: I ghosted them / went no contact with them so hard that they very probably think I am dead.
