Absolutely!!: Adhd can cause more than just behavioral problems. Children with adhd can have social impairment, school failure or academic problems as well as a number of co-morbid conditions such as anxiety, depression, and oppositional defiant disorder. Into adulthood, speeding tickets, divorce, credit/money and/or employment problems, are just a few problems they may have.

Oh yes! : Oppositionality, aggression, disobedience, impudence, disruptiveness, conduct problems, rule violations, drug/tobacco/alcohol use, breaking laws, speeding, motor vehicle accidents are a few of behavioral issues in adhd people. The presence of behavioral comorbidities increases the risk of bad outcomes in adhd. These usually respond to appropriate adhd meds, counseling, & treatment of comorbidities.

ADHD: Oppositional defiant acts are common, and later on, conduct problems ensue, as my colleague mentioned.

Varied behaviors: Children with the predominantly inattentive type of ADHD develop behavior problems because they distract themselves, can be fidgety and restless, disorganized, and often off task. This may create problems with the child's teacher as well as the parents as they have to micromanage the child due to the behavior challenges. Hyperactive children have greater behavioral excesses harder to manage.
