Why Is This Important?

Researchers want to find out whether issues of attention and/or hyperactivity often occur in families who have a child with an ASD.  To what extent are such traits found in children with ASDs, their parents, and siblings?

Data from IAN Research:

This chart shows that 11% of all siblings without ASDs taking part in IAN Research, at some time in their lives, have been diagnosed with or treated for either ADHD or ADD.

This chart shows that 22% of siblings aged 10 to 18 taking part in IAN Research, at some time in their lives, have been diagnosed with or treated for either ADHD or ADD.  (It is important to consider older children especially, since they are more likely to have experienced various issues than younger children.)
