ive had psychiatrists tell me people get over adhd when they reach adulthood and that stimulants were just for children many of them still seem to think adhd == hyperactivity as im sure most of us know there are two types of adhd hyperactive type and inattentive type hyperactive type yes maybe it usually goes away with adulthood or at least the symptoms arent as evident inattentive type the one i suspect most of here have i dont think ever goes away theres no cure just management  i did once have a psychiatrist tell me that if it was caught in childhood and medication started right away the brain chemistry could be changed but i dont know if he was talking out his ass at any rate they didnt even know what adhd was when i was a kid they just knew i was a shitty student
