On comparing between three subtypes of ADHD, there was statistically significant difference between them regarding child abuse being 100% in hyperactive, 66.7% in combined and 0.0% in inattentive subtype. Also, total T4 was significantly lower in inattentive subtype. Conclusion: Total T4 level was lower in inattentive subtypes than other subtypes. But, thyroid hormones level showed no difference between ADHD children and control. Also, they have lower total and performance IQ than healthy ones.
