One of my brothers has ODD and was diagnosed when he was about 9 and he was a nightmare growing up, he has learning probs too and ADHD which doesnt help and was a heroin addicted baby (we adopted him when he was 3) so all that made for many a struggle between my mum and him as you can imagine.
Now though - I would say he still has it but is more aware (now 23) of it but he still, if you tell him something is black he will go on and on about how its white. He cant help himself but i have to say he gets in to the 'argument' and then all of a sudden he will just shut up coz he realises he is doing his thing again! it had to be hard for these kids not being able to control themselves.
How have you gone with the paed?
