[quote=Anonymous]My DS12 has ADHD and hasn't been medicated. No, they don't outgrow it, but it presents differently depending on the developmental stages and environmental demands. I could give a lot of examples, but mainly, when kids are younger, impulse control, emotional regulation, hyperactivity, compliance, etc. are bigger issues. There are more outward signs of a lack of self control. Older kids may turn these problems inward and struggle with executive functioning, focus, social skills, or anxiety. Task persistence, organization, planning, attention to directions, social success, etc. Emotional regulation may get better or worse- for my DS12, he received cognitive therapy early and while his emotions are sometimes over the top, he is able to identify them quickly and calm down.
