College Students with ADHD

Abstract

As discussed in Chap. 1, ADHD is a chronic disorder that typically begins early in life (Barkley, 2006). In fact, according to DSM criteria, one must exhibit impairment from symptoms during childhood (i.e., before the age of 12 years old) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Thus, the typical course is for symptoms to impair functioning as early as preschool with continued difficulties through elementary and secondary school (Barkley, Murphy, & Fischer, 2008). Young children with ADHD are likely to experience problems with development of appropriate social interactions, delayed growth in early literacy and math skills, as well as higher than average risk for accidental injuries (DuPaul et al., 2001; Lahey et al., 1998). Problems interacting with parents and preschool/day-care teachers may also arise because of the increased risk for development of oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) and later conduct disorder (CD) (Lahey et al., 2004).
