As many as half the children diagnosed with ADHD as young children continue to demonstrate notable ADHD symptoms into adolescence and adulthood.
In a child’s early years, teachers and other caregivers are often sensitive to the symptoms of ADHD. But as the child grows and enters the workforce, employers and others are far less likely to regard unusual behaviors as a symptom of ADHD. Though adults with ADHD do not exhibit behaviors such as climbing on furniture, research shows they are far more likely than average to have automobile accidents and to not complete their education.
Through the eyes of their family, friends, and peers, adults with ADHD are often perceived as chaotic and disorganized. There is a tendency for them to require high levels of stimulation in order to minimize their distractions and function effectively. In some adults, as they try more and more ways to cope, they may turn to smoking, alcohol, or illicit drugs. As a result, many adults suffer from associated conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.
Many adults with ADHD recognize that something is wrong with them, but are unable to find effective solutions for their symptoms. It’s important to get a formal diagnosis of ADHD by a trained professional.
Symptoms of ADHD can vary widely between individuals and throughout the lifetime of an individual. These result in problems with sustaining attention, planning, organizing, prioritizing, and impulsive thinking/decision making.
