To compare adaptive functioning in children with mild intellectual disability (MID) with that of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Thirty-three children with MID were contrasted with 27 children with ADHD with regard to adaptive functioning as measured by the Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System (ABAS-II). The group with MID was population-based, and the group with ADHD was considered representative of a clinically referred group with that diagnosis. The two groups were subdivided into those ≤11 years and those ≥12 years.
The group with ADHD had lower adaptive functioning, but differences were not significant at total group levels. In children 12 years or older, the group with ADHD had significantly lower adaptive functioning.
Older children with ADHD had poorer adaptive functioning than those with MID, a finding which should be of interest to school and other authorities mapping out education and intervention plans for children with special needs.
比较轻度智力障碍（MID）儿童与注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童的适应性功能。
采用适应性行为评估系统（ABAS-II）对 33 名 MID 儿童和 27 名 ADHD 儿童的适应性功能进行对比。MID 组为基于人群的，而 ADHD 组被认为是具有该诊断的临床推荐组的代表性。将两组分为≤11 岁和≥12 岁的儿童。
ADHD 组的适应性功能较低，但在总体组水平上差异不显著。在 12 岁或以上的儿童中，ADHD 组的适应性功能显著较低。
年龄较大的 ADHD 儿童的适应性功能比 MID 儿童差，这一发现应该引起学校和其他当局的关注，为有特殊需求的儿童制定教育和干预计划。
