Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DSM-5 requires that the symptoms of ADHD be present in at least two settings (e.g., at home and at school) to ensure that the observed behaviors are not limited to one specific context and reflect a more pervasive disorder. It also specifies that several symptoms must be present before age 12, not 8. Therefore, the statement about the predisposition towards ADHD being persistent and generalized is accurate, reflecting the need for symptoms to be long-standing and present in multiple environments.
