Won’t My Child Outgrow His ADD?

No. Attention Deficit Disorder is not something that can be outgrown. A person who has ADD as a child will have it as an adult.

What often happens is that as a child grows and matures, he learns to manage his ADD symptoms more effectively, thus making it seem as though he has outgrown it.

This does not mean that adults don’t have ADD or that they don’t struggle with it’s symptoms. Many people with Attention Deficit Disorder have learned to manage it by the time they reach adulthood, but may find that changes or complications in their lifestyles will aggravate their symptoms.
