Problem 1: ADHD & ASD
What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) = a persistent pattern of inattention
and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is at a significantly higher rate than would be
expected for a child at their developmental stage
Lack of attention in academic, occupational, or social situations
→ not completing tasks
Hyperactivity manifests as excessive fidgeting, not remaining seated, excessive
running/climbing
Impulsivity manifests as impatience, difficulty in appropriately delaying responses,
interrupting others
→ desire for immediate rewards over delayed rewards
The consequences of ADHD
Their attentional deficits and hyperactivity may make them prone to:
1. Temper outbursts
2. frustration
3. bossiness
4. stubbornness
5. changeable moods
6. poor self-esteem
Family members often see their behavior as intentional and irresponsible → can cause
resentment within the family
Predominantly inattentive symptoms → suffer most in terms of academic
achievements
Predominantly hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms → most peer rejection and
accidental injuries
Problem 1: ADHD & ASD 1
, In general → difficulty making friends, often singled out and rejected
In adulthood → less success and safety at work, poorer interpersonal relationships,
poorer academic outcomes, poorer general life satisfaction
Theory of mind = the ability to understand one’s own and other people’s mental states
Some theorists argue that children with ADHD have a TOM deficit
→ however studies have shown an executive functioning deficit, rather than a deficit in
social functioning
