Distracted, hyperactive, and thriving: factors supporting everyday functioning in adults with ADHD
Higher ratings of social support were linked to better functioning across many life domains independent of ADHD symptom severity, suggesting that all people with ADHD - even those with relatively low symptoms - may thrive from the development of enhanced social connections. These conclusions need to be strengthened by supportive longitudinal evidence, as it is likely that many of these associations are bi-directional.
