Abstract
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine which attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms at ages 3-5 are most strongly associated with an ADHD diagnosis in a large dataset of preschoolers across the US. “Being ‘on the go’” and “interrupts or intrudes” were most strongly associated with an ADHD diagnosis.
