AB  - OBJECTIVE: Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with 
      significant pragmatic language impairment and theory of mind deficits, but there 
      are only a handful of studies have investigated the relationship between them in 
      these conditions. This study aimed that investigate two different aspects of 
      Theory of Mind (ToM) (ToM decoding and reasoning), pragmatic language impairment, 
      and emotion regulation in patients with ADHD. METHOD: Seventy adolescents with 
      ADHD were compared to matched 64 healthy controls. We administered Social 
      Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), 
      Kiddie-SADS, Conners Parent Rating Scale, Children's Communication Checklist-2 
      (CCC-2), Faux Pas, Comprehension Test, and Reading Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) 
      to all study participants. RESULTS: The CCC-2 scores were found to be 
      statistically significantly higher in the ADHD group than in healthy controls. 
      ADHD group had lower performance in the Faces Test and RMET compared to healthy 
      controls, which did not survive from false discovery rate correction. We also 
      found that CCC-2 performance and Conners scores were significant predictors of 
      social responsiveness. CONCLUSION: Our results point to widespread impairment in 
      pragmatic language use and communication from many perspectives. These results 
      might be important to understand the difficulties in social functioning and 
      interpersonal relationship in adolescents with ADHD.Key pointsADHD is associated 
      with significant impairment in pragmatic language use and social cognitive 
      functions.ToM-Decoding (RMET) is impaired much more than ToM-Reasoning (Faux Pas) 
      in ADHD.Pragmatic language skills and severity of ADHD may be significant 
      predictors of social responsiveness.Emotion regulation problems may affect 
      communication and pragmatic language use.
