Answer 131

1. A persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development, as characterized by Inattention (six or more inattention symptoms) AND/OR hyperactivity (six or more hyperactivity symptoms) these symptoms have persisted for at least 6 months to a degree that is inconsistent with developmental stage and negatively impacts social and academic activities 2. severe inattentive and hyperactive-impulse symptoms were present prior to age 12 years. 3. several inattentive or hyperactive symptoms are present in two or more settings 4. clear evidence that the symptoms interfere with or reduce the quality of social academic or occupational functioning 5.
