“…The prevalence of any of the considered comorbid psychiatric disorders in adults with ADHD ( n =335) was reported to be significantly higher than in those without (49% vs 33%). This included a significantly higher prevalence of anxiety disorders (23%) and depressive illness (19%) [46]. A population‐based sample ( n =30,532) including people with ID (3.8%) found anxiety disorders (37.9%) to be the most prevalent co‐morbidity with ADHD [47].…”

This seminar in epileptology addresses Learning Objective 6.1.4 of the International League against Epilepsy Curriculum: Demonstrate the ability to recognize and manage the special needs of persons with epilepsy (and Neurodevelopmental Disorders [NDDs]). The review identifies the essential competencies for neurologists working with people with epilepsy and NDDs, and these competencies are discussed alongside clinical examples. Furthermore, the seminar explores the opportunities offered by integrated service provision between neurology and services for NDD. The epileptic encephalopathies are not a subject of this seminar paper as they are circumscribed by other ILAE learning objectives. This seminar frames the complexity of seizures in association with NDD with a focus on major NDDs; intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The evidence presented considers epidemiology, co-morbidities, risk factors, mortality, and the diagnostic and treatment challenges. People with NDDs and epilepsy have higher rates of physical and psychiatric co-morbidity, polypharmacy, neuropsychiatric side effects of drugs, and premature mortality including sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. There is a limited Level 1 evidence base to guide assessment and treatment for seizures in adults with NDDs. Therefore, throughout this seminar, the evidence presented for associations and treatment should be observed in context along with its limitations. The evidence for pharmacological treatment of seizures in association with NDDs is presented alongside expert commentary and guidance. There is Level 2 evidence to support treatment with some of the newer anti-seizure medications including brivaracetam, lacosamide, eslicarbazepine acetate, and perampanel as second-line choices. Seizures with a co-morbid NDD should be considered as a collective complex clinical presentation and not discrete conditions. This seminar was co-designed, co-produced and co-authored by an expert by experience and includes case studies and a video to highlight what can go wrong and how it can be avoided.

“…On the other hand, boys with ADHD also took more responsibility than typically developing children for negative parent-child interactions. Previous research has shown that boys with ADHD are more likely to experience internalizing problems such as depressive or anxiety symptoms than typically developing control children (e.g., [48,49]) and perhaps related to these internalizing problems, children with ADHD assume greater personal responsibility for negative family events. As such, it is possible that different mechanisms underlie ADHD boys' higher ratings of child responsibility attributions for positive versus negative parenting behaviors (positive bias and depressive distortions).…”

Attributions for parents' behavior were examined in a sample of boys with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Sixty-six boys (mean age = 9.75 years) rated attributions for their mothers' and their fathers' behavior, across positive and negative scenarios, and along four attribution dimensions (parent ability, parent effort, task difficulty, and child responsibility). Three-way interactions emerged among child ADHD status, parent gender, and attribution type, and among scenario valence, parent gender, and attribution type. All children rated attributions higher in the positive scenarios, and attributions of child responsibility higher for fathers than mothers. Children rated task-related attributions higher for mothers in negative scenarios, but higher for fathers in positive scenarios. Boys with ADHD rated child responsibility attributions higher than controls, across all scenarios. Results highlight important differences in children's perceptions of their parents' behavior that may have implications for understanding parent-child relationships in families of children with and without ADHD.

“…During the past couple of decades, many countries have witnessed females catch up with and even surpass males in many aspects of educational achievement including language (Cole, 1997;Gibb, Fergusson & Horwood, 2008;Peacock & Ho, 2003). Of particular note, individual differences in foreign language learning research has recognized gender-based differences in factors such as motivation (Dörnyei, 2003), learning strategies (Oxford, 1993;Oxford &Ehrman, 1995;Peacock & Ho, 2003) and foreign language classroom anxiety (Park & French, 2013).…”
