To investigate the relationship between ADHD symptoms and impairment among adults diagnosed as having ADHD in childhood, ages 6–12. Clinicians blindly interviewed 121 white males, age 41, on average. DSM-IV adult ADHD behaviors were systematically rated, and impairment resulting from symptoms was scored on a 5-point scale. Correlations between degree of impairment and number of behaviors were high (r’s = .83 to .85, p < .001). The Impairment Criterion had no effect on classifying any subject as having, or not having, adult ADHD. All subjects who reported experiencing 5 or more inattention or hyperactive-impulsive behaviors as “often” or “very often” in adulthood were significantly impaired by their symptoms. Contrary to results reported in children, there is a strong relationship between number of ADHD symptoms and degree of impairment. However, for several reasons (discussed in the article), it should not be concluded that the Impairment Criterion is superfluous.
