You're right - it is! ADHD is one of the most common medical conditions of childhood - the majority of sources indicate that up to 6% of school-aged children in Australia have ADHD. ADHD has long been recognised and treated in children, and until relatively recently was thought to be something a child would outgrow in adolescence.
But it is now known that ADHD can carry on into adulthood. Up to 70% of people who had ADHD as a child may continue to have ADHD symptoms as an adult. Less is known about ADHD in adults than in children. However, research, particularly in the area of genetics, is uncovering more about the condition all the time. These scientific advances mean that help is available for adults. Effective management helps people achieve the potential they knew they had but couldn't always access.
