What do we know about ADHD in college students: Social Functioning and Romanic Relationships

Research on the social functioning of college students with ADHD is relatively limited, and researchers found only three studies that explicitly dealt with this variable.
In an initial study of social functioning and romantic relationship, students with ADHD who sought services at a university counseling center did not report more interpersonal problems than other students seen at the center.
More recent studies point toward greater social difficulties among students with ADHD, in which one study found that students with self-reported ADHD acknowledged more concerns about their social relationships than did their peers.
Research that has specifically examined heterosexual relationship outcomes for students with ADHD is very limited.
One study found that males with inattentive subtype ADHD experienced greater relationship difficulties than males with hyperactive-impulsive subtype or combined subtype.
