Abstract
Few studies have examined how externalizing and internalizing disorders impact functional impairment among children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. While children with comorbid externalizing disorders exhibited worse global functioning, parents reported lower rates of peer-acceptance for children with comorbid internalizing disorders. Impairment in specific domains differed according to the type of comorbidity.
