[quote=Anonymous]I think many of you are looking at this question as too black-and-white. There are certain aspects of ADHD that almost everyone will either outgrow or at least see major improvement on. For example: a child who is extremely hyperactive will almost certainly become less so as he gets older and matures. Therefore the child will get into less trouble and become less hyperactive. On the other hand, if your executive functions are very impaired, you're likely to always have challenges. That said, people can work on this, develop strategies, use technology to assist them. They may learn to manage. But will this area always be a relative weakness? It is quite likely. My life is much more difficult as an adult because the demands are so much greater. As a child in school, I actually managed quite well by making a HUGE effort and spending an enormous amount of time on homework. I do think that the total lack of support, though, caused a lot of anxiety for me. [/quote]
