Objective Few follow-up studies have been conducted of girls with ADHD, and none followed into adulthood. The authors sought to estimate the prevalence psychopathology in without ADHD young Method a longitudinal case-control study 6- 18-year-old (N=140) (N=122) ascertained from psychiatric pediatric sources. At 11-year follow-up, 96 (69%) 91 (75%) comparison were reassessed (mean age=22 years). Participants blindly assessed by structured diagnostic interviews. Results Lifetime 1-year risks...
Objective: Although individuals with attention deficit‐hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) commonly exhibit deficits in executive functions that greatly increase the morbidity of disorder, all available information on subject is cross sectional. Method: Males ( n = 85) 9–22 years ADHD followed over 7 into young adulthood were assessed measures sustained attention/vigilance, planning and organization, response inhibition, set shifting categorization, selective visual scanning, verbal learning,...
Article AbstractObjective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been consistently associated with intellectual, educational, and employment deficits. This study evaluated subjects to determine whether the educational occupational deficits ADHD are what would be expected given their intellectual abilities or lower than abilities. Method: Participants derived from a case-control of adults (N = 224) without 146) DSM-IV ADHD. Subjects were comprehensively assessed structured...
To compare the clinical presentation of ADHD between youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a sample only.A psychiatrically referred attending specialized ambulatory program for ASD ( n = 107) general child psychiatry clinic 74) were compared.Seventy-six percent met Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) criteria ADHD. The in was predominantly similar to its typical including age at onset (3.5 ± 1.7 vs. 4.0 1.9; p .12), distribution diagnostic subtypes,...
To assess the implications of autistic traits (ATs) in youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) without a diagnosis autism.Participants were (n = 242) and 227) ADHD controls whom autism was exclusionary. Assessment included measures psychiatric, psychosocial, educational, cognitive functioning. ATs operationalized by using withdrawn + social thought problems T scores from Child Behavior Checklist.A positive AT profile significantly overrepresented among children versus (18%...
One suspected source of negative outcomes associated with ADHD has been deficits in executive functions. Although both psychometrically defined and self-reported function (EFDs) have shown to be poor academic occupational outcomes, whether these two approaches define the same individuals remains unknown.Participants were 194 adults from a case-control study ADHD. Empirically based cutoffs ascertained for an EFD diagnosis on psychometric tests scores Current Behavior Scale.Results showed...
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the validity diagnosing attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in high IQ children and further characterize clinical features associated with their ADHD. Methods: We operationalized giftedness/high as having a full scale ≥120. identified 92 who did not have ADHD 49 that met diagnostic criteria for had participated Massachusetts General Hospital Longitudinal Family Studies Results: Of our participants IQ, majority ( n = 35) Combined...
Objective: This study examined whether ADHD was an independent contributor to grade retention when adjusting for IQ, learning disorders, and social class. Method: Outcome data from participants in studies at Massachusetts General Hospital ( n = 404 ADHD, 349 controls) who underwent psychiatric interviews, socioeconomic status measures, IQ testing. Results: 28% of individuals with repeated a compared 7% controls p < .001). Among class, were significant predictors high school dropout or...
Both working memory (WM; a brain system that provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been associated with educational deficits. Since WM deficits are prevalent in children ADHD, main aim present study was to examine whether driven by or effect ADHD itself.Participants were referred youth (N = 276) without 241) ascertained from pediatric psychiatric sources. Assessment included measures psychiatric, psychosocial,...
Background To examine the association between psychological tests of executive functioning and functional outcomes among high-IQ adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method Subjects were ( n =64) without ADHD =53). administered a battery neuropsychological assessing functioning. Results High-IQ performed less well than those on several functioning, including Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Stroop Color Word Test, Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF), California...
Neuropsychological deficits in the executive system are major sources of morbidity individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We conducted a 5-year longitudinal study girls (N = 140) and without 122) ADHD, aged 6–18 years at baseline. functioning was assessed using standard neuropsychological testing assessing functions (EFs). Girls ADHD were significantly more impaired than controls all domains except set shifting. Despite variability stability individual EFs,...
Article AbstractObjective: The main goal of this study was to evaluate the impact stimulant medication on executive function deficits in a group adolescents and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; DSM-III-R criteria). Method: Male female subjects aged 15 25 years were divided into 3 groups: ADHD treated stimulants who took their at time testing (ADHD active treatment: N=26), had not taken past month no N=94), non-ADHD control (controls: N=133)....
To evaluate the properties of clinical scales Child Behavior Checklist in discriminating referred children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) (autistic disorder, Asperger's and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified) from psychiatrically without ASDs.Comparisons were made between ASDs (n = 65) intelligence quotient >70 (N 83) on Checklist. Stepwise logistic regression was used to identify those that best predicted when compared non-ASD comparison group. Receiver...
