Participation Assignment 3 Answer
Ellison, K. (2021 August 13). Only 10 percent of kids with ADHD grow out of it as adults, research says. Retrieved from https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/adhd-persists-adulthood-growing-out-study/2021/08/12/68934808-fa03-11eb-8a67-f14cd1d28e47_story.html (Links to an external site.).
From what I have learned from the article, only a small percentile of kids with ADHD grow out of it or have intervention which leads them to have better management of the disorder as they grow into adults.
