Symptoms of DSM-III and DSM-IV ADHD were classified into symptoms of inattention and symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity (H \/ I). Results indicated that individuals with RD were more likely than individuals without RD to meet criteria for ADHD and that the association between RD and ADHD was stronger for symptoms of inattention than for symptoms of H \/ I. Parents and teachers reported similar rates of ADHD, suggesting that ADHD symptoms were pervasive across settings and were not solely attributable to academic frustration. Analyses of possible gender differences revealed that RD was significantly associated with inattention in both girls and boys but associated with H \/I only in boys. This difference may provide a partial explanation for the discrepancy between the gender ratio obtained in referred (approximately 4 boys to 1 girl) and nonreferred (1.2 to 1.5 boys to 1 girl) samples of individuals with RD. Specifically, the hyperactive and impulsive behaviors exhibited by boys with RD may be more disruptive than the inattentive behaviors exhibited by girls and may therefore precipitate more frequent referrals for clinical attention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/002221940003300206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,14]],"date-time":"2007-12-14T00:52:20Z","timestamp":1197593540000},"page":"179-191","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":397,"title":["Comorbidity of Reading Disability and Attention-Deficit\/ Hyperactivity Disorder"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Erik G.","family":"Willcutt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Colorado Institute for Behavioral Genetics, Campus Box 447, Boulder, CO 80309"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruce F.","family":"Pennington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Denver, Developmental Neuropsychology Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Manual for the Child Behavior Checklist\/4-18 and 1991 profile","author":"Achenbach, T.","year":"1991"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association.","year":"1980","edition":"3"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association.","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"206","volume":"11","author":"Ashbaker, M.H.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Learning Disabilities Research & Practice"},{"key":"atypb5","unstructured":"Barkley, R.
