Trust tangles: Who do kids trust? Unraveling young children's attitudes in the gossip mill.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and hyperactivity, typically arising during childhood. Contrary to earlier beliefs that ADHD is exclusively a childhood disorder, research has established that ADHD symptoms may persist into adulthood in a substantial proportion of individuals [-]. This recognition of ADHD as a lifelong condition prompted revisions in the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria to facilitate diagnosis across the lifespan. ADHD is increasingly recognized not as a simple behavioral disorder but as a complex syndrome affecting the brain's executive functions, including organization, attention to detail, alertness regulation, focus, working memory, motivation, and emotional management. These cognitive functions work together to complete various tasks, with individuals with ADHD showing substantial impairment in executive functions compared to their peers []. Though many individuals find their ADHD symptoms becoming less problematic with age due to brain maturation or changing environmental demands, significant impairment persists into adulthood for many. Research has shown that functional impairments can continue into middle age and beyond, with bodily changes potentially causing late-onset ADHD-like impairments. ADHD in adults can have a significant impact on physical and psychological health and is associated with social, occupational, and legal consequences [].
