“…Developmental history reveals information about the development of psychopathological markers and nally symptoms of ADHD. In our previous study of family and developmental history, female adolescents with ADHD were compared to male adolescents without psychiatric diagnosis (Waltereit et al, 2019). In our previous study we found for female adolescents with ADHD a pro le of family and developmental history signi cantly differing from male adolescents without psychiatric diagnosis.…”

“…In our previous study, we have investigated family and developmental history of male adolescents with ADHD compared to typically developing male adolescents (Waltereit et al, 2019). As we have outlined above, there is a knowledge gap about the picture of ADHD in female adolescents.…”

“…The rst one are parents of a female adolescent diagnosed with ADHD (n = 46) and the second one are parents of a male adolescent with ADHD (n = 46), matched in pairs for IQ, diagnosis and gender of their children. Twenty-four data sets out of these 46 sets of parents of male adolescents with ADHD used for this study were identical with 24 out of 56 data sets from our previous study comparing male adolescents with ADHD versus healthy controls (Waltereit et al, 2019). Thus, male adolescents with ADHD were considered as the control group in the current study.…”

“…The "family and developmental history questionnaire" to study family and developmental history in the clinical examination scenario by the MHP has been described (Waltereit et al, 2019) and consists of a selection of relevant questions that could still be answered in a 45 min interview. These questions are commonly used for diagnostics at several German academic child and adolescent psychiatry departments and were aligned with leading textbooks (Martin & Volkmar, 2007; Sadock et al, 2009;Thapar et al, 2015).…”

“…ADHD is associated with a speci c pro le in family and developmental history, but the empirical literature is still scarce in this domain. In a previous work by our group (Waltereit et al, 2019), a pro le of markers in family and developmental history of male adolescents with ADHD compared to healthy controls was found, using the clinical diagnostic interview technique. In family history, the parents reported cumulative transgenerational effects of more mental disorders, more psychosocial burden like less years in school and lower school-leaving quali cations and impaired relationships between parents and grandparents in the families with children with ADHD.…”

Background: Gender differences in the development of children and adolescents are well known in the psychiatric examination including the clinical diagnostic interview technique. Some gender-specific differences in behaviors of patients as assessed in the clinical examination are related to typical development and some are related to disorders. Family and developmental history is an important part of the clinical diagnostic interview. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with disorder-specific markers in family and development history. However, it is unclear to what extent ADHD-specific signs and narratives differ between female and male adolescents. The aim of this study was to assess and to compare the family and developmental history profiles of female versus male adolescents with ADHD.Methods: Data were collected using the clinical diagnostic interview technique from parents of female and male patients diagnosed with ADHD (ICD-10 F90.0, F90.1 and F98.8) between the ages of 12 and 17 years (n = 92). The two groups were matched in pairs for gender, IQ and ICD-10 diagnosis (F90.0, F90.1 and F98.8). The majority of interview data were non-metric and operationalized in three categories: 0 - normal behavior, 1 - minor pathological behavior, 2 - major pathological behavior. The two groups were compared with two-way ANOVA. Results: Female in comparison to male adolescents were reported by the parents with very few differences in items that are typical for ADHD. However, there were a few differences in items in which gender-specific differences are known regardless of ADHD. Conclusions: Our study suggests that ADHD-related items in family and developmental history, as obtained with the clinical diagnostic interview technique, appear in female compared to male adolescents more similar than different.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders with an early onset. Guidelines recommend a careful evaluation of developmental history when assessing the disorders, but it is unclear how children with ADHD and ASD differ from their peers growing up. In this study, physical, family, psychological, social, and educational information were examined in 3623 ethnically diverse children that were prospectively followed from birth to age 15 as part of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Fifteen-thousand variables were screened, and 506 variables included in the final analyses. Accuracy of the most indicative information to predict ADHD and ASD diagnoses in adolescence was evaluated. Adolescents with ADHD (n = 627) and ASD (n = 91) differed from their peers on a plethora of developmental signs, with signs closely related to the core symptoms of the disorders after age 5 being most indicative of the disorders. Predictive models correctly identified 66% of individuals with ADHD and 81% of those with ASD, but 62–88% of identified cases were false positives. The mean proportion of developmental deviations was 18.7% in the ADHD group, 20.0% in the ASD group, and 15.6% in peers; youth with both ADHD and ASD (n = 50) deviated on 21.8% of all developmental signs and had more pronounced deviations than those with ADHD or ASD alone. ADHD and ASD are characterized by broad and non-specific developmental deviations. Developmental information alone cannot be used to accurately predict diagnostic status in adolescence and false positives are likely if the diagnostic process relies heavily on such information. Developmental deviations are part of normal development and common in children without ADHD and ASD. Etiological heterogeneity and considerable temporal fluctuation in the core characteristics of ADHD and ASD may explain the lack of distinct developmental patterns.
