Young adults who have ADHD are more likely than their peers to get fired, to shun birth control and become parents by age 21 and to have higher credit card debt and less savings, according to a 13-year study reported over the weekend.

Fischer released her study with co-author Russell Barkley at the American Psychological Association meeting in Washington.
