Varies : Prospective studies (research done over long periods following the same patients) show about 65% of children with add persist into adulthood. This number drops to 35% if the child is treated with stimulant medication. So to increase your chances of "outgrowing" adhd, treat early in childhood.

Variable: About 50% of people with childhood ADHD will out grow their symptoms by the end of high school. For others, it will be a life long issue.
