According to data from the 2022 National Survey of Children’s Health, approximately 1 in 9 U.S. children ages 3–17 (11.4%) have ever been diagnosed with ADHD — that’s 7.1 million children.
The data also show that ADHD can look different from child to child:
6.5 million children currently have an ADHD diagnosis, with almost 60% having moderate or severe ADHD.
77.9% have at least one co-occurring condition, including anxiety, learning disabilities, developmental delays, depression, autism, or behavioral and conduct problems.
These numbers remind us that ADHD is more than difficulty paying attention. Every child has unique strengths, challenges, and support needs — and understanding the whole child matters.
