(True or False?)The effects of ADHD diminish as age increases.?

Question

Note: if you look at my other questions you will find similar easy survey questions. I'd be appreciative if those who answer this one would follow up and answer some of the others.

Answer 1

False, I think.

I believe that the ADHD type behaviors are dependent on the person's environment. Thus, it may only seem like the ADHD has gotten better when a child grows into adulthood just because you no longer have to sit still in a classroom (well, depending on your job). But I think the underlying symptoms are still there and show themselves in other ways.

Answer 2

I believe that's true, only because they learn coping mechanisms to deal with it better. Also, an ADHD kid at 14 years old will have the maturity level of a 10, 11 year old, at that age the difference is noticeable. When your 40 yrs. old however, and still behind a few years in terms of maturity, no one will notice.

Answer 3

Semi-true.
The effects of ADHD can dimish with puberty for some children. However, there are no other times in a persons life where the disorder "gets better" or "diminishes".

Answer 4

I don't think there is a true or false for this. I think it is truley a question if the person was first diagnosed properly, and second have they learned how to cope with the disorder if they truely have it.

Answer 5

i find , from my own experiance, that the symptoms do not deminish over the years. i was diagnosed when i was 12... i am now 27. but i dont have any clinical proof.

Answer 6

It depends on the person.

Answer 7

False, at least not for me. I think mine have gotten worse.

Answer 8

I would say True

Answer 9

True.
