Essentially its for attention that he does what he does, no matter if its negative or positive attention. My teacher was talking about CD (conduct disorder) and how kids will push and push and push to get you to hit them, because they WANT to be hit, because it makes them feel more alive and that is attention to them. (again, not that Breeze has CD because I definately do not think that he does- that is a much higher form of ODD)
but it might be worth checking and researching ODD because that might provide some insight into your situation.
I hope that helps... PM me if you want, I can ask my teacher about it more, but I personally don't know too much about it)

Do you really believe that ODD exists? What separates a simply bad person from an ODD person?
I think it's a huge mistake for society to approach behavior this way.
