The present study examined the correlation between the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale‐IV Japanese version (ADHD RS‐IV‐J) score and mismatch negativity (MMN), in 10 pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) children with ADHD‐like symptoms, and examined whether MMN become the objective measure to assess the severity of ADHD‐like symptoms in PDD children. Consequently, score of ADHD RS‐IV‐J had a positive correlative tendency with MMN latency and had a significant strong negative correlation with MMN amplitude. Therefore, MMN may become an objective measure to assess the severity of ADHD‐like symptoms in PDD children.
