subtype, and the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive subtype. For each one to be diagnosed,
at least 6 of the dominant subtypes’ criteria must be present with less than 6 of the less
dominant subtypes’ criteria.

developmental stage and age.
• At least 6 of the criteria for inattention, at least 6 of the criteria for hyperactivity, for at
least 6 months.
• Symptoms were present before the age of 12 years.

individuals ADHD will persist into adulthood, affecting IQ and intellectual functioning.
