______ is not a mandatory symptom for an Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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.
