However, core symptoms start early in life — before age 12 — and continue into adulthood, creating major problems. No single test can confirm the diagnosis. 6 More Information ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active. 7 The AAP guidelines for diagnosis and evaluation of ADHD recommend that primary care providers complete these steps: Evaluate children and adolescents ages 4 to 18 years for ADHD if they are having academic or behavioral problems and show inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity. Get reports on the child’s symptoms from parents or guardians. 8 retter seg mot deg som arbeider innen helse- og omsorgstjenesten. 9 2. 10
