Abstract
Girls with ADHD display impairments across development, particularly global impairment. We examined whether academic/vocational productivity in late adolescence moderates predictive relations between ADHD symptom persistence and clinician-rated global impairment. Greater ADHD persistence predicted worse global impairment, but this effect was tempered by high academic/vocational productivity for the most persistent participants.
