Objective: This study investigated the factors associated with antisocial behavior (AB) in children with developmental disorder and effective treatments. Methods: Participants were 110 schoolchildren with developmental disorder and with or without accompanying AB who visited our hospital between October 2009 and October 2012. Among the children with AB, those who exhibited one or more symptoms of conduct disorder (CD) were assigned to the CD subgroup. We examined the background characteristics, past history, type of antisocial behavior, and symptom improvement after treatment in the children with AB and compared the relevant factors with children with developmental disorder without AB. Results: Of the 110 participants, 72 (65.5%) did not exhibit AB and 38 (34.5%) did, 7 (5.5%) of whom fulfilled the criteria for CD. Compared to the children without AB, the children with AB showed a significantly higher occurrence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), maltreatment, institutionalization due to maltreatment, parental mental/psychological problems, and family instability. After medical treatment combined with social-skills training and parental education, 22 of the 38 children with AB showed improved behavior. In the CD subgroup, 4 children were diagnosed with AD/HD and 3 with pervasive developmental disorder, and none of the 7 improved with treatment. Conclusion: AB was associated with AD/HD, maltreatment, institutionalization, parental mental/psychological problems, and family instability. The most effective therapy was parental education. Children with AB need early intervention given that those who already exhibited symptoms of CD showed little improvement with treatment.
