“…Girls with ADHD had more media time associated with higher odds for obesity when not on medication, although children on medication had higher prevalence for depression which remained signifi cant after controlling for obesity ( Kim, Mutyala, Agiovlasitis, & Fernhall, 2011 ). Improvement on Atomoxetine did not diff er for boys and girls ( Wehmeier, Schacht, Dittmann, & Banaschewski, 2010 ). Using continuous performance testing, boys were found to be more impulsive than girls ( Hasson & Fine, 2012 ).…”

Chart review of population (9 to 80 years) neuropsychological test battery for ADHD diagnosis, questionnaires with multiple responders were evaluated in outpatient setting from 1989-2009. The focus was gender differences across age, diagnostic group (ADHD-Inattentive/ADHD plus), neuropsychological test performance, and reported sleep symptoms over the lifespan. Individuals were assigned to ADHD-I group or ADHD plus group (based upon secondary diagnosis of sleep, behavioral, emotional disturbance); ADHD not primary was excluded (brain insult, psychosis). Among these were 1,828 children (ages 9 to 14), adolescents (ages 15 to 17), and adults (ages 18 and above); 446 children (312 diagnosed ADHD-I), 218 adolescents (163 diagnosed ADHD-I), and 1,163 adults (877 ADHD-I). Sleep was problematic regardless of age, ADHD subtype, and gender. The type and number of sleep problems and fatigue were age dependent. ADHD subtype, gender, fatigue, age, and sleep (sleep onset, unrefreshing sleep, sleep maintenance) were significant variables affecting neuropsychological test performance (sequencing, cognitive flexibility, slow- and fast-paced input, divided attention, whole brain functioning). Findings suggest that ADHD involves numerous factors and symptoms beyond attention, such as sleep which interacts differently dependent upon age.

“…Children with ADHD also often face difficulties in everyday life, including in their social relationships, academic performance and achievements, and low self-esteem [10]. In addition, they may experience deficits in visuospatial and verbal working memory, vigilance, inhibitory control and planning, problems with coordination of gross and fine motor functions, sequencing of movements [11], difficulties with working memory and self-regulation of emotions, language and speech deficits, arousal and activation and temporal information processing and timing [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with onset of symptoms typically in early childhood. First signs of the disorder, including language delay, motor delay and temperament characteristics, may be evident as early as infancy. The present review describes published evidence about early motor signs of either children with later symptoms of ADHD or a later diagnosis of the disorder. Nine published cohort studies were included after a systematic search of related terms in PubMed and PsycInfo databases. Study eligibility criteria included: (1) report on early motor function or any motor-related signs;(2) the presence of a participants' assessment by/at 12 months of age; (3) report of a later presence of ADHD symptoms. The limited number of reports included suggests an association between mild early neurological markers and later developmental coordination disorder and motor overflow movements. Unfortunately, due to their small sample sizes and focus on group reports rather than individuals, they have limited power to find strong associations. Early motor indicators of ADHD, if present, appear to be non-specific, and therefore not yet useful in clinical screening. Spontaneous motility seems to be a promising measure for early ADHD detection, although further studies with large cohorts are recommended to determine its clinical role in children at risk for ADHD.

“…Attention de cit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in children; the Centers for Disease Control estimates 9.4% prevalence in 2-17-year-olds (Danielson et al, 2017). ADHD is a chronic, impairing disorder (Hechtman et al, 2016) linked to lower academic performance (Daley & Birchwood, 2010), increased delinquency (Thompson, Riggs, Mikulich, & Crowley, 1996), substance use (Molina et al, 2013), and social impairments (Wehmeier, Schacht, Dittmann, & Banaschewski, 2010). Children with ADHD are more likely to have a comorbid mental health disorder than children without ADHD (Cuffe et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: We examined psychiatric comorbidities moderation of a 2-site double-blind randomized clinical trial of theta/beta-ratio (TBR) neurofeedback (NF) for attention de cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:Seven-to-ten-year-olds with ADHD received either NF (n=84) or Control (n=58) for 38 treatments.Outcome was change in parent-/teacher-rated inattention from baseline to end-of-treatment (acute effect), and 13-month-follow-up. Seventy percent had at least one comorbidity: oppositional de ant disorder (ODD) (50%), speci c phobias (27%), generalized anxiety (23%), separation anxiety (16%). Comorbidities were grouped into anxiety alone (20%), ODD alone (23%), neither (30%), or both (27%).Results: Comorbidity (p=0.043) moderated acute effect; those with anxiety-alone responded better to Control than to TBR NF (d=-0.79, CI -1.55--0.04), and the other groups showed a slightly better response to TBR NF than to Control (d=0.22~0.31, CI -0.3-0.98). At 13-months, ODD-alone group responded better to NF than Control (d=0.74, CI 0.05-1.43).
