Reply to comment by Rubyhamster in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

Actually studies from 2021 show about 9% do in fact outgrow out but i was way off with most people

You're saying they grow out of it but posting a link that talks about controlling individual symptoms, not the condition itself...

I think "outgrow" is a weird word for this? Have all the people living successfully with ADHD outgrown their ADHD? Or just found a lifestyle that fits their body and brain? And "symptoms" are almost always a negative. Or is my tendency to work really effiently with deadlines also a symtom?
