[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 303226, member: 3493"] I think that "growing out of" ADHD is more a function of maturity and developing coping mechanisms/rituals that permit you to get along in society. For instance, most hyperactive little kids eventually calm down a bit. Some are channeled into athletics (one of my friends got both of the ADHD boys into track where they excelled) and others just move less as they get older. If a child is not so much of a whirling dervish as they age, have they grown out of it or are they just learning to compensate? A lot of adults seem to outgrow it because once you are grown, you can choose what you want to do more so than when you're in school. My son constantly fussed and fidgeted in math class because he hated it. Now in college, he is studying for a CLEP exam so he won't have to sit through a math class again. If you are doing something that interests you, even the most ADHD child can focus. As for Miss KT, if this course gets her some insight into how her brain is working and she learns to cope better - has she outgrown it or is she just compensating or both? In any event, I hope that this course helps her. [/QUOTE]
