It's just "masking". A breakdown sometime during late twenties or later will be the true test.

My son is one of "those few", he hits others multiple times, every days, including baby siblings. Despite being followed by different therapist, 15 hours per week, he is dangerous for others and cannot be left alone in society without the care of a professional.
