Is it true that the essential feature of antisocial personality disorder is a pattern of irresponsible and antisocial behavior beginning in childhood or early adolescence and continuing into adulthood?

Yes. The consensus across longitudinal and developmental studies strongly supports the view that antisocial personality disorder and persistent antisocial behavior are rooted in behavioral disturbances and conduct problems that begin in childhood or early adolescence and continue into adulthood.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently emphasizes the developmental trajectory from early childhood conduct problems and behavioral disturbances to adult antisocial personality disorder and persistent antisocial behaviors. Multiple papers substantiate the claim that these patterns originate early in life and persist into adulthood.
