Abstract in brief

  • Adults with ADHD often face challenges in their daily lives, especially at work, due to cognitive demands and symptoms like inattention.
  • The study involved both a large community sample and a clinical group of adults with ADHD, highlighting that work-related problems are common among those with ADHD, including difficulties in meeting personal standards and potential for negative evaluations.
  • Symptoms of inattention, rather than neuropsychological test performance, are strongly linked to work problems, suggesting that clinical assessments should focus on symptoms to better support adults with ADHD in the workplace.]
