Can children outgrow ADHD?

Not usually. However, most children’s symptoms diminish as they mature and develop more ability to compensate for their symptoms. Some people retain all of their symptoms throughout their adulthood.

“Current best estimates suggest 60% of children diagnosed with ADHD continue to experience symptom persistence into emerging adulthood (Sibley et al., 2017), and only 9% achieving persistent full-remission from ADHD symptoms by age 25.”
