Adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are highly vulnerable. Although their hyperactive symptoms tend to decrease from childhood through adolescence, their inattentive symptoms remain stable (see Larsson, 2020, for review). Their academic, social, and emotion regulation difficulties persist, and they are at risk for co-occurring oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety, and depressive disorders. Despite this vulnerability, as indicated by Russell Barkley in his forward to the recently published book on adolescents with ADHD (Becker, 2020), research on these adolescents is limited compared to research on children and adults with ADHD. Our concerns about the paucity of research that would inform assessment and treatment stimulated my graduate students and I to embark on a research project that we called the Ripple Effect of Adolescent ADHD. The ripple effects we investigated are self-perceptions, family relationships, and peer relationships. The results of our studies have been published in scholarly journals and book chapters and several other articles are in preparation. In this special issue, we focus on some of our studies on self-perceptions and friendships. I am dedicating this special issue to Amanda Todd, a 15-year old girl with ADHD who died by suicide on October 10, 2012. Amanda lived in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. She was persuaded by an adult predator posing as an adolescent to lift her shirt and expose herself. The predator then took a photo of Amanda and proceeded to blackmail and threaten her for more intimate photos (now known as sextortion). When Amanda did not respond, the intimate photo was posted on the Internet for all to see. She was subsequently a victim of physical, verbal, relational, and cyberbullying by peers and lost many of her friends. She became severely anxious and depressed. Weeks prior to her death, Amanda created a You Tube video that poignantly told her story. Since her death, her mother has created the Amanda Todd Legacy Society which is a

青少年多动症的涟漪效应：自我感知和社会关系。

注意缺陷/多动症（ADHD）的青少年非常脆弱。尽管他们的多动症状从儿童期到青春期都有减轻的趋势，但他们的注意力不集中的症状却保持稳定（参见Larsson，2020年的评论）。他们的学术，社会和情感调节困难持续存在，并且有同时发生的对立反抗障碍，行为障碍，焦虑症和抑郁症的风险。尽管存在这种脆弱性，正如拉塞尔·巴克利（Russell Barkley）在其最近出版的有关多动症青少年的书中所指出的那样（贝克尔，2020年），但与针对多动症儿童和成人的研究相比，对这些青少年的研究仍然有限。我们对研究不足的担忧会影响评估和治疗，这刺激了我和我的研究生，我着手进行一项名为“青少年多动症的纹波效应”的研究项目。我们调查的连锁反应是自我认知，家庭关系和同伴关系。我们的研究结果已发表在学术期刊和书籍章节中，其他几篇文章也正在准备中。在本期特刊中，我们重点研究一些关于自我感知和友谊的研究。我将这个特刊献给15岁的多动症女孩阿曼达·托德（Amanda Todd），她于2012年10月10日自杀身亡。阿曼达住在不列颠哥伦比亚省的高贵林港。一名成年掠夺者冒充青春期的女孩说服她举起衬衫露出自己。捕食者随后拍摄了Amanda的照片，然后继续勒索并威胁要她提供更亲密的照片（现称为性侵犯）。当阿曼达没有回应时，那张私密的照片被张贴在互联网上，以供所有人查看。随后，她成为同龄人在肢体，言语，关系和网络欺凌方面的受害者，失去了许多朋友。她变得严重焦虑和沮丧。在她去世前几周，阿曼达（Amanda）制作了一段You Tube视频，生动地讲述了她的故事。自去世以来，她的母亲创立了阿曼达·托德（Amanda Todd）传统社会，受到同龄人的网络欺凌，失去了许多朋友。她变得严重焦虑和沮丧。在她去世前几周，阿曼达（Amanda）制作了一段You Tube视频，生动地讲述了她的故事。自去世以来，她的母亲创立了阿曼达·托德（Amanda Todd）传统社会，受到同龄人的网络欺凌，失去了许多朋友。她变得严重焦虑和沮丧。在她去世前几周，阿曼达（Amanda）制作了一段You Tube视频，生动地讲述了她的故事。自去世以来，她的母亲创立了阿曼达·托德（Amanda Todd）传统社会，
