In a follow-up of 55 of 61 patients at age 22 years who had ADHD with and without comorbid developmental coordination disorder (DCD) at initial workup at 7 years, 58% of the ADHD/DCD group had a poor outcome compared with 13% in the comparison group. ADHD complicated by DCD (sometimes called DAMP or MBD) carries an increased risk of poor psychosocial functioning in early adulthood. [1]
