“…We chose common cold as the comparator primarily because it is a frequently occurring physical ailment that would occur in the same frequency in the 2 groups. Common cold has also been used as a comparator to ADHD in an earlier study (McMenamy and Perrin, 2008). Finally, we aimed to assess self-esteem and its relation to their understanding of the disorder.…”

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders (SLDs) are an important cause of scholastic backwardness among children and often go unrecognized. Few studies have examined knowledge and attitudes toward ADHD and SLD among school-aged children. To address this deficit, 120 school-aged children, attending a child guidance clinic in Mumbai, were interviewed using a questionnaire that examined children's knowledge and attitudes about ADHD and SLD. The results were compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with a frequently occurring medical illness, common cold. Approximately 80% to 100% of children were aware of their illness; however, a large variation was noted in the proportion of children (15%-80%) who could describe their symptoms, provide accurate attributions for their illness, and identify treatment modalities. Children with ADHD reported greater control over their illness. The study identified a significant lack of knowledge about ADHD and SLD among school-aged children in India and discusses implications of this finding.

“…Children’s understanding also varies according to everyday experiences. The lives of children with CHC are filled with daily reminders and potential learning experiences related to their condition (Crisp, Ungerer, & Goodnow, 1996; McMenamy & Perrin, 2008). Although the family remains the main source of information and guidance for the school-aged child, sustained encounters outside the home and family environment provide opportunities for expanded experiences (Coll & Szalacha, 2004).…”

The Impact of Experience on Children’s Understanding of ADHD

Abstract: Findings highlight the need for educational interventions to rework the notion that children with ADHD intentionally display their symptoms. Educational interventions should clearly be tailored to children's developmental level as well as their experience with a condition.
