“…As expected, total media time increased on weekends in both groups; however, patients’ screen time exceeded remarkable 5 hr per day, suggesting that affected children spend a great amount of their spare time with electronic devices. In support of our findings, there is evidence that girls and boys with ADHD are less frequently involved in traditional leisure activities, such as meeting with friends, sports, and acting/dancing, and express less enjoyment in extracurricular activities than typically developed children do (Bolic Baric et al, 2018; Shimoni, Engel-Yeger, & Tirosh, 2010). Bolic Baric et al (2018) found that patients with ADHD prefer Internet-based channels to engage in social interactions with their peers, possibly to avoid confrontation with their behavioral difficulties and ascertaining feelings of competence (Shimoni et al, 2010).…”

“…Although there is still no comprehensive information about media use in ADHD, the scant studies undertaken so far indicate that individuals with ADHD are more attracted to electronic media and engage in more screen time than typically developed peers (Acevedo-Polakovich, Lorch, & Milich, 2007; Bolic Baric, Hellberg, Kjellberg, & Hemmingsson, 2018). Examining the association of the availability of a bedroom TV with total screen time among 6- to 17-year-olds with ADHD revealed that they spend 150 min per weekday watching TV, watching videos, or playing video games (Lo, Waring, Pagoto, & Lemon, 2015).…”

“…The current study provides new insight into several leisure activities, including a variety of specific Internet activities, particularly online and video games that characterize leisure among boys and girls with ADHD, compared with adolescents from the general population [13]. Leisure activities can provide adolescents with an opportunity to develop skills and competencies, increased physical and psychological development, and a sense of belonging.…”
