Testosterone fully eliminated feigned prosociality & decreased submission to audience expectations.

Essentially, they did what they believed in.

7/ Why it matters:
✅ More precise subgrouping = better diagnosis
✅ Tailored interventions
✅ Recognition of familial and contextual influence

5/ Notably:
👩 Mothers with ADHD influenced the Tic-Autism vs. Bipolar group only when siblings had lower ADHD rates.
🏠 High negative parenting & lower FDR neurodevelopmental disorders were linked to profile 4 (ODD vs. SLD).

[Michele Scandola @Scandle]

6/ Bottom line:
ADHD is not just a core symptom diagnosis—it clusters with distinct comorbidity profiles. These profiles are shaped by familial psychiatric history and environmental risk.
🧠 We argue for a nosology of ADHD that reflects this complexity.

[Michele Scandola @Scandle]

4/ We looked at family mental health:
✅ Psychiatric disorders in FDRs had a direct effect on Anxiety-Depression-CD (profile 1).
✅ ADHD in siblings + negative parenting affected multiple profiles.
✅ Proband’s age and overlap between profiles gave further insight.

[Michele Scandola @Scandle]

We’re very happy to share our new publication:
"Comorbidity aggregation models in children and adolescents with ADHD and direct and moderator effects of familial clinical history and psychosocial factors"

3/ Some comorbidities were mutually exclusive—like Tic/Autism vs. Bipolar in group 3 and ODD vs. Learning Disorders in group 4. These “contraposed” profiles suggest different developmental pathways.

[Michele Scandola @Scandle]

2/ Comorbidities grouped into 4 main profiles:

1. Anxiety, Depression & Conduct Disorder
2. Intellectual Disability, Specific Language Disorder & Coordination Disorder
3. Tic/Tourette & Autism vs. Bipolar Disorder
4. Oppositional Defiant Disorder vs. Specific Learning Disorders
