This statistic shows the percentage of children in the U.S. with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from 1997 to 2018. In 2018, around 9.8 percent of children in the U.S. had been diagnosed with ADHD, compared to 5.5 percent in 1997.

For number of edges, clustering coefficient and average path length, the Wilcoxon test was carried out. For degree and spectral distributions, the JS divergence with the bootstrap test was calculated.

From 2020 to 2022, around 11 percent of children in the United States aged 5 to 17 years had ADHD. This statistic displays the percentage of children in the U.S. aged 5 to 17 years who had ever been told by a doctor or health professional they had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from 2020 to 2022, by gender.

Controls and the clinical group divided according to the presence or not of ADHD. For the graph analyses the number of neighbours is 40 + 40.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder common among children and adolescents. In the Italian region of Lombardy, around 85 percent of ADHD patients between 2011 and 2021 were males. This graph shows the distribution of children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD in Lombardy between 2011 and 2021, by gender.

ABSTRACT Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) encompasses other symptoms besides inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, such as language problems. ADHD can have a non-remitting course and is also found in older individuals, although there are no studies on language problems in elderly individuals with the disorder. Objective: To investigate the presence of language impairment in older adults with ADHD. Methods: Language impairment was investigated in three older ADHD adults, and compared with two matched control subjects using a narrative discourse task. The transcript discourses were evaluated based on the Trabasso Model for discourse analysis, and then processed by the Speech Graph Analysis software. Results: Compared to control subjects, ADHD patient discourse had more Plot components and their networks exhibited more Edges. The patients had higher scores on the Narrative Inefficiency, Density and Diameter Indexes as well as on the Average Clustering Coefficient. The networks of control subjects were sequential, with little or no recursiveness, whereas those of ADHD subjects were convoluted. Conclusion: Our results suggest that language deficits described in children, adolescents and young adults with ADHD may persist in older adults with the disorder.

Healthy controls (n = 30) and ADHD patients (n = 41).

During the COVID-19 pandemic distance learning was implemented in Italy, as well as in other countries, to allow students to continue to have classes even when schools were closed. Different dispensatory methods were used to help the students adapt to these new learning methods. This graph shows that teachers tended to give fewer tasks to children with ADHD, as well as additional time. This graph shows the percentage of children in Italy with different dispensatory measures during COVID-19 distance learning based on ADHD diagnosis as of 2020.
