hokennobro Iām shocked that the āADHD mental age is 2/3 of real ageā story seems to be more than just a thing. Dr. Catherine, who has been in clinical practice in the US for over 30 years, says that the frontal lobe of ADHD continues to mature until age 35, which is barely the same as the mental maturity of a person at age 21 in their late 30s.

Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, director of Chesapeake Psychological Services in Maryland and co-author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, says the maturation process for youth with ADHD is slow and not linearā¦

The frontal lobes of the brain involved in ADHD continue to mature until the age of 35. In practical terms, this means that people with ADHD can expect a reduction in symptoms over time. Many will not reach the emotional maturity of a 21-year-old until they are in their late 30s.
- This is about the only scientific thing I have to say.
naoto_muranaka I think the āADHD brain continues to mature until after age 30, so there is a scientific basis for the 30-year-old adulthood theoryā should be considered in reverse. I believe it should be the other way around. The problem of āthe type of brain that takes 30 years to developā appearing ādevelopmentally challengedā at an early age. Preconceived notions of ābehindā and āfar inferiorā at some point in time.
- Mistake of regarding a great talent as inferior. - Blind Card Candidate Maybe.
naoto_muranaka The most essential issue is. The identification of a person as ādelayed=disabledā at an early age increases the pressure to conform to the āaverage speedā by ignoring the pace of the personās development and maturation. And I believe that this structure has led to many cases in which the personās healthy development has been hindered.
naoto_muranaka In other words, a well-intentioned bad move to āsomehow bring an inferior person up to par with othersā. I think there is a fear that we may be preventing a person from reaching the maturity that he/she should have been able to reach. - The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(As a Doctor of Science, I should note in passing that these discussions are not based on new scientific facts, but rather that they are more like they are getting excited because they noticed a blind spot from a new point of view. It is an interesting perspective.)
If ADHD and others are āthe type of people who take 30 years to matureā, then humanity has made this possible by creating a society where people can take 30 years to mature and not die! A newborn horse cub can run around, and a newborn human cub cannot run around until several years have passed. This is not because the human child is inferior, but because a safe society makes this possible. The same could be said for ADHD.
If ADHD is the Direction of evolution of mankind, then the interpretation of this story changes again.
