Detailed explanation-1: -“Children diagnosed with ADHD are not likely to grow out of it. And while some children may recover fully from their disorder by age 21 or 27, the full disorder or at least significant symptoms and impairment persist in 50-86 percent of cases diagnosed in childhood.
Detailed explanation-2: -A person with ADHD will also become better at self-regulating over time, but will typically remain delayed compared to other people of the same age. For example, a 16-year-old with ADHD will have more self-control than he did when he was 5, but probably won’t have as much self-control as the next 16-year-old.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most parents of children with ADHD worry about their child’s potential for success. The truth is there are countless powerful, confident, high-achieving leaders who have managed to capitalize on behaviors associated with ADHD.
Detailed explanation-4: -That’s because kids with ADHD are less mature than their peers. That’s what ADHD is: an immaturity of the brain’s infrastructure. That immaturity impacts a child’s executive functions, including attention and self-control. If a child is much younger than others in his grade, he may appear even more immature.
