Answer to Question 2

Children diagnosed with ADHD may experience social roadblocks because they are not well liked, either by their classmates or their teachers. Children categorized as having the inattentive subtype or the combined subtype of ADHD seem to be the least well liked by their peers and teachers. This interaction between a child's behavior and the behavior of another person is frequently seen in family setting as well as in school. Problematic interpersonal interactions are often observed among family members in families that include a child with ADHD. Parents of children with this disorder often experience marital difficulties, high levels of stress, and conflict-laden parent-child interactions. A child who is playing with another child with ADHD is likely to show more frequent demands, commands, and negative responses than if he were playing with a non-ADHD child. These negative behaviors may then serve to reinforce and escalate the behaviors in the ADHD child. Parents of children with ADHD experience more stress and fewer gratifications than most other parents do. These interpersonal problems are thought to be more a consequence of the child's problem behaviors than a cause of them, because improved child behavior (often associated with use of medication) leads to changes in others' reactions.
