【Objective】 To study the behavior characteristics of the children with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and tic disorder (TD) (CAT). 【Method】 60 children with CAT, 79 children with ADHD, 60 children with TD and 71 normal children were collected. All of those cases were investigated using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). 【Results】 No significant differences in the incidence rate of behavioral abnormality found between CAT group and ADHD group(χ2=0.419,P＞0.05); The incidence rate of behavioral abnormality of children with CAT was higher than that of TD group(χ2=7.745,P<0.01), and increased remarkably than normal children(χ2=27.326,P<0.001). As far as the boy was concerned, the scores of obsession, aggression and social recession in the CAT group were remarkably higher than ADHD group(P<0.01); all of the scores in the CAT group were increased obviously except abruption when compared with the TD group(P<0.01); all of the scores in the CAT group were notably higher than those of the normal group(P<0.01). Meanwhile, the CAT group had no obvious difference with the ADHD group in CBCL relate to girls, but showed higher scores in aggression contrasted with the TD group and a higher level in aggression and social recession than the normal group(P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 The children with CAT show more seriously behavior problems than the children with ADHD or TD ; ADHD is the most significant factor affecting the behavior problems in CAT; The boys display more severely behavior problems in children with CAT than girls.
