Conclusion: The irritability-ADHD presentation is associated with atypical functional connectivity of reward and threat processing regions with cognitive control and emotion processing regions. These patterns provide novel evidence for irritability-associated neural underpinnings in adolescents and young adults with ADHD. The findings suggest...
Highlights
•Technology has the potential to support self-regulation in children with ADHD.
•Most prior research has used mobile and sensor technology to deliver intervention for ADHD.
•Most technological interventions try to support children at school or at home.
Highlights
• Non-mental diseases over the lifespan are associated with ADHD.
• Epilepsy, migraine, elimination disorders, asthma and obesity are well replicated co-occurring conditions across the lifespan.
• Diagnosing non-mental diseases in ADHD patients is important for optimizing the treatment of both conditions.
Parents' perspectives on a smartwatch intervention for children with ADHD: Rapid deployment and feasibility evaluation of a pilot intervention to support distance learning during COVID-19

Distance learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic presented tremendous challenges for many families. Parents were expected to support children's learning, often while also working from home. Students with Attention...
Overall, we illustrate how even simple DHIs, such as using smartwatches to promote daily organization and task completion, have the potential to support children and families, particularly during periods of distance learning. We include practical suggestions to help professionals teach children with ADHD to use smartwatches to improve...
Conclusions: Cognitive test scores and ADHD symptoms were improved on well-controlled medication for 1 year in children and adolescents with ADHD, autism and other comorbidities. The main study limitation is the open uncontrolled trial design.
