Question:

______ is not a mandatory symptom for an Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis.

Options:

Inattention

IQ below 70

Impulsivity

Hyperactivity

Correct Answer:

IQ below 70

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → IQ below 70

For a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the core mandatory symptoms include:

  • Inattention

  • Hyperactivity

  • Impulsivity

However, IQ below 70 is not a criterion for ADHD. An IQ below 70 is typically associated with Intellectual Disability, not ADHD. Children with ADHD can have average or even above-average intelligence, but they struggle with attention regulation and impulse control.
