[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to all these ADHD and ADD kids when they grow up? Do they stay on meds their whole life? What do their adult lives look like? Are their kids more likely to also have ADHD/ADD?[/quote] My son has ADHD. He's only 11, so I don't know what his adult life will look like. My two cousins had ADHD. They are in their 30s. One dropped out of college his first year, got married to a nice woman, has kids, and has a decent job in sales. The other has an alcohol problem, can barely afford an apartment, and does construction work. No kids, never married. Both seem happy enough. Substance abuse is a big problem for many people who have ADHD. They self-medicate, and it doesn't help. Just be aware. [/quote]
