A new study published in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology shed light on how individual characteristics and demographic factors may affect the timing of ADHD diagnoses.

Children with higher intelligence scores, certain symptom types, and higher socioeconomic backgrounds were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD at a later age.

The researchers used data from a large sample of children in Ontario , Canada .

The study emphasizes the importance of recognizing that ADHD diagnosis timing can be influenced by a child’s intelligence, behavioral presentation, and demographic context.

Future research could benefit from more comprehensive data on internalizing symptoms and ethnicity.

By identifying these factors, clinicians may be better equipped to detect ADHD across a more diverse range of children.
