The ADHD Teen.

The ADHD adolescent teen often goes through a metamorphosis. As the teen years take hold, the symptoms of ADHD seem to change. The ADHD teen may become more socialized, a little more in control of himself and a little more focused. The symptoms of hyperactivity often diminishes into a more quiet “restlessness” at puberty.

Studies indicate that 50 to 60 percent of Attention Deficit Disorder children will largely outgrow their symptoms by adulthood. Yet, “outgrow” is probably not the best term to use. It is likely that children do not outgrow their symptoms, but instead learn coping and management skills.

Most people develop better abilities to pay attention and control impulses as they grow older. The ADHD teen is no different. Many ADHD children develop a large enough inventory of effective skills during their teen and adolescent years to help compensate for earlier shortcomings.

As children with ADHD grow older, one of three things will happen;

• The symptoms will go away. About 15-20 percent of ADHD children will “outgrow” ADHD in their adolescent or teen years.
• The symptoms will diminish, but not go away completely. Some people will display mild signs of ADHD throughout their life. The impulsivity may remain and is often the biggest complaint in adults with Attention Deficit Disorder. The attentional difficulties may carry into adulthood and are often described as a brain fog. Still, the ADHD symptoms are not severe enough to cause too much trouble in their lives.
• The symptoms will remain at their current level or worsen. About 30 percent will continue to struggle with Attention Deficit Disorder throughout their life. A strong family history of ADHD, an unstable environment and co-morbid psychiatric disorders are predictors of whether ADHD will remain through teen years and into adult years. There is a strong likelihood that ADHD will remain past adolescent years if two or more factors are present.

That said, ADHD into adult life is not a sentence to failure. ADHD adults can live productive lives with ADHD. In fact, many adults with ADHD do extraordinarily well in careers that call for an always-on-the-go, energetic personality. The trick to success is finding the combination of measures to enhance the attributes of ADHD while bolstering the weaknesses that ADHD can bring. By building on strengths most adults with ADHD lead productive, successful and fulfilling lives.
