Abstract

The present study found poor caregiver-child agreement (ICC < 0.5) on measures of anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom severity within typically developing, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental coordination disorder groups. Youths reported greater anxiety symptoms than their caregivers, while caregivers reported greater ADHD behaviors than youths.
