  ADHD is often diagnosed during childhood, so if you had it as a kid, you might wonder if it will go away as you get older. In most cases, ADHD does not go away.

• #37 ADHD Changes in Children as They Grow and Develop

  https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/700childrens/2018/05/adhd-as-a-child-develops

  Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that involves delays in how well a person is able to control, or regulate, his or her own attention, behavior and emotion. […] 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 wont have as much self-control as the next 16-year-old. As a result, both kids and adolescents with ADHD often appear immature compared to their peers. […] Because of their delays in self-regulation, kids and adolescents with ADHD typically have difficulty meeting the daily expectations that increase with age. […] ADHD is typically a chronic disorder, meaning that most children (50 to 80 percent) with ADHD continue to meet criteria for the diagnosis as they move into adolescence, and many (35 to 65 percent) continue to meet criteria as adults. Further, only a small number (10 to 20 percent) of children with ADHD will have no symptoms or impairment as adults. In other words, relatively few people appear to fully outgrow ADHD in adulthood.
