Predicting later ADHD presentation types from early childhood autism and intellectual disability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are both neurodevelopmental disorders associated with functional impairment in social, academic, and occupational domains.

Methods

This longitudinal study, a follow-up to the CHARGE Study (ReCHARGE), evaluated diagnosis of ADHD and its presentation type (Inattentive, Combined-Hyperactive/Impulsive), in a cohort of 8 to 20 year-olds from four developmental categories recruited at ages 2-5 years: Autism, developmental delay without autism (DD), other early concerns (OEC) or typical development (TD, controls from the general population) (n = 645). ADHD diagnosis was based on parent clinical interviews (DISC or MINI), observational methods and multiple rating scales. Multivariate Poisson log regression models
