Resumen

Introduction. Children with ADHD tend to overestimate their social, behavioral and academic functioning, a subject that has been little investigated in adults with ADHD. Goals. The objectives of this work are: 1) To examine the executive functioning profile of young adults with ADHD; 2) Study the relationship between executive functioning skills perceived by adults with ADHD and their parents; 3) Compare the differential scores (between the observer and self-report versions) of adults with ADHD and adults with typical development. Method. Participants were 93 adults (50 with a diagnosis of ADHD in childhood and 43 with typical development) between 17 and 24 years. The self-report and observer versions of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-adult version (BRIEF-A) were applied for the evaluation of executive functioning. Differential scores for each of the subscales were calculated by subtracting the T scores estimated by the parents minus the T scores estimated by the youth with ADHD. Results Adults with ADHD overestimated executive functioning skills compared to their parents. The BRIEF-self-report and BRIEF-observer versions correlated significantly in the domains of behavioral regulation. The differential scores were statistically higher in the group with ADHD than in the control group. Conclusions Young adults with ADHD overestimate their executive functioning skills compared to their parents, which underscores the need for collaboration from other family members with patients in the evaluation.
