Difficulties experienced by children with ADHD may continue into adulthood. Adults with ADHD may potentially experience significant challenges due to the disorder when compared to their non-ADHD peers.

Surveys have shown that adults with ADHD may be:

• More likely to be currently unemployed
• More likely to have been arrested
• More likely to have been divorced
• More likely to be addicted to tobacco

So why share this information, if it's potentially disheartening? It's important to understand how ADHD may impact your child's life now and in the future. If you have concerns, have your child evaluated.
