Abstract
College students with a history of elevated ADHD reported more severe problems in interpersonal relationships and at work/academic functioning. Insecure attachment style, avoidant and anxious, helped to explain outcomes. For those with elevated childhood ADHD and very high avoidance, difficulties at work/academic functioning were the most severe.
