Abstract
A high proportion of those with eating-related symptoms report having experienced childhood maltreatment. In a longitudinal sample of girls with/without ADHD, participants who experienced sexual abuse, physical neglect, or emotional neglect before reaching 18 had more eating disorder symptoms in emerging adulthood and young adulthood than those without such histories.
