Differentiating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder from Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.

Roeyers, Herbert; Buysse, Ann; Keymeulen, Heidi

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n6 p565-71 Nov-Dec 1998

This study investigated early clinical differences between 27 children (ages 0-4) with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified and 27 children with attention deficit disorder. Results revealed almost no differences between both groups with respect to pregnancy or birth complications and suggest that differences become more pronounced with growing age. (Author/CR)
