  1. Note: Intellectual functioning is assessed at T0 and T2 but not at T1. Siblings are assessed at T0 only.
  2. *The following subtasks were administered: Arythmic, Similarities, Block Design, and Picture Completion.
  3. SDQ = Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires; SPPC/SPPA = Self Perception Profile for Children/Adolescents; CIS = Checklist Individual Strength; Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children; SWAN = Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD-symptoms and Normal-behavior; BRIEF = Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning; WISC-III = Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Third version; WAIS-III = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Third version.
