ADHD Symptoms May Appear Differently Over Time

As you probably know, the symptoms of ADHD may not be the same for everyone. Age and environment can influence behavior. And in many cases, the symptoms can change over time.

If your child has ADHD, as he or she grows older, hyperactive symptoms may lessen, while less obvious symptoms, like attention problems, may not. For example, though a 12-year-old may sit still better in class, he or she may actually find concentrating more difficult. That’s why it's so important to regularly reevaluate.

Many adults with ADHD remain undiagnosed. This may be because the symptoms in adults may appear differently than in children.
