Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak began in December of 2019 and affected many worldwide. Research posited that those with ADHD might struggle more with the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic than their neuro-typical counterparts. The objective of this chapter was to collect and synthesize much of the present research surrounding those with ADHD and to determine how they have been impacted by COVID-19 in hopes of providing ways to mitigate those impacts. The chapter evaluates the research suggesting that ADHD may be a potential risk factor for contracting COVID-19 and discusses how to reduce the possible increased risk of transmission in both children and adults with ADHD. The chapter also examines the effects of lockdowns and online schooling and working from home on children and adults with ADHD as well as best practices for mitigating these impacts.
