Don ADD people eventually outgrow their ADD?
No. Many well done studies have proven that symptoms continue on into adulthood. The key mitigating factors have been shown to be: (1) Proper Treatment (2) High Intelligence (3) A Supportive Family Proper treatment definitely improves the ADD person’s ability to cope successfully. High intelligence means that the individual has greater ingenuity in developing compensatory strategies. A supportive family provides the ADD person with a positive, encouraging environment (which studies have shown makes a big difference).
