Abstract
Parents of 2-year-olds were recruited online to examine early ADHD symptomatology. Item response theory analysis was used to examine the utility of individual symptoms. Results indicated that verbal symptoms showed poor discriminability at this age, suggesting that some symptoms are more useful than others for identifying toddlers with ADHD impairment.
