“…The literature frequently reports attention impairments following TBI and brain tumour that affect the superordinate components of attentional control (selective attention, inhibition, shifting and divided attention). Surprisingly, the performance was stable for each 2-minute block in both groups, without decline of attentional performance over time, as opposed to previous research describing linear decreasing patterns of attention in children with NF1 as well as in healthy controls, suggesting that difficulties in continuous attention may be related to a fatigue effect [33].…”

“…Symptoms of ADHD are common in children with NF1, with 30–50% of children with NF1 exhibiting attention deficits, compared to 3–7% of their peers in the general population [ 35 , 36 ]. It follows that children with NF1 and ADHD symptoms are at greater risk for poorer social outcomes, which may include bullying victimization, compared to children with both NF1 without ADHD [ 25 ].…”

Risk Factors for Bullying Victimization in Children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1)

et al. 2021

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal disorder associated with numerous physical stigmata. Children with NF1 are at known risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), academic struggles, and significant social difficulties and adverse social outcomes, including bullying victimization. The primary aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with bullying victimization in children with NF1 to better inform clinicians regarding targets for prevention and clinical intervention. Children and a parent completed questionnaires assessing the bully victim status, and parents completed a measure of ADHD symptoms. Analyses were completed separately for parent-reported victimization of the child and the child’s self-report of victimization. According to the parent report, results suggest ADHD symptoms are a significant risk factor for these children being a target of bullying. Findings for academic disability were not conclusive, nor were findings related to having a parent with NF1. Findings indicate the need for further research into possible risk factors for social victimization in children with NF1. Results provide preliminary evidence that may guide clinicians working with children with NF1 and their parents in identifying higher-risk profiles that may warrant earlier and more intensive intervention to mitigate later risk for bullying victimization.
