This study investigated how children who identified themselves as having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) via a DSM-based child interview would differ from children who were so identified by an adult only on a commonly used parent/teacher rating scale. Prevalence of ADHD, age, IQ, observed disruptive behavior, self-reported internalizing symptoms, and symptom severity of externalizing symptoms and comorbid internalizing and externalizing disorders were examined. Although no significant differences were found in observed disruptive behavior between groups, the Child Self-Identified group endorsed significantly more internalizing items on commonly used self-rating scales. Findings suggest that children who self-identify as having ADHD may also exhibit higher levels of internalizing symptoms.
