ADHD: Children with ADHD have more problems in early adulthood

From the CEC Smart Brief:

Children with untreated ADHD frequently go on to have the disorder in young adulthood and have increased problems with getting fired, higher credit card debt and a greater likelihood of becoming parents by age 21, according to a new study. The 13-year study tracked 147 children with ADHD beginning at age 7 and compared them with 76 neighbor children and found that about a third dropped out of high school, about one in three became parents by their early 20s and they had more debt than the neighbors.
