And there is a whole separate thing I can tell you about with the retirement stage, and perhaps we can talk about that later.

So there are two arguments for why you might think that ADHD can become easier to manage.

And I'd say for some people, it absolutely is the case.

So first, pattern recognition.

You start to be able to recognize those triggers before you let them get to the stage where it becomes a problem for you.

You know those people that if you spend time with are going to be triggering for you.

You know those situations, those opportunities that if you say yes to, they're going to completely...

override you and you know how to avoid those situations so yes for some people pattern recognition helps the second thing is emotional maturity so when you were younger your rsd may be driven by lots of perceived threats hypothetical scenarios about what could happen in the future but now as you get older

you start to actually realize what does happen.

And that can help your RSD to have a more mature understanding about the difference between perceived and actual threat.

So this can be really helpful with being able to have the capacity to manage some of the ADHD symptoms that you have.

But I would caveat that by saying that you've got capacity and you've also got demand.

And as you progress through your life stages,

the demands on you can also grow up and expand.

And when they grow, if your capacity doesn't match the demand, then you personally might not find that ADHD gets easier as you age.

Yes.

So when we look at the experiences that you have as you age, so let's look at some of the most common scenarios here.

Parenthood.

For women, the menopause.

For both men and women, the experience of progressing up the leadership ladder within your working environment.
