TL;DR
These academic and psychosocial problems in adolescents with a childhood diagnosis of ADD and a group of clinical controls suggest potential long-term ramifications for vocational and psychological functioning into adulthood.

These academic and psychosocial problems in adolescents with a childhood diagnosis of ADD suggest potential long-term ramifications for vocational and psychological functioning into adulthood. In addition, the presence of CD in some of these cases during adolescence appears to further increase the risk for maladaptive outcome.
