Excerpt

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been conceptualized by DSM-5 [1] as a neurodevelopmental disorder and included in the respective category grouped with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, communication disorders, specific learning disorders, and motor disorders.
