Stability of executive function deficits into young adult years: a prospective longitudinal follow‐up study of grown up males with ADHD

Objective:  Although individuals with attention deficit‐hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) commonly exhibit deficits in executive functions that greatly increase the morbidity of the disorder, all available information on the subject is cross sectional.
