[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering at what age certain ADHD symptoms tend to peak on average. Could people share when certain symptoms started to peak and get better? And I realize this is a long road....so some symptoms may be their worst at age 18 or something......

Wondering specifically about these symptoms:
-- Hyperactivity
-- Impulsivity 
-- Inattention
-- Disorganization
-- Poor time management
-- Low frustration tolerance
-- Poor planning

My DH has ADHD. He was never medicated for it (he also has anxiety and is medicated for that).

He is successful at work and we have a good marriage. But he still shows 
-low frustration tolerance 
-inattentive in
-disorganization 
-poor planning 
-hyperactivity now is that he can’t ever just sit and watch TV - he’s always doing two things at once.

He loves his work and is able to hyper focus and is very successful. I run most other things in our life - pay all the bills, kids stuff, home stuff, vacations, cars, etc.

I imagine all of these were worse when he was younger - his siblings tell stories about a bad temper, lots of risky behavior, and losing things through high school. He grew out of his bad temper in high school so I am hoping my kids mature out of similar when they hit that point. [/quote]
