'Delay' in ADHD children's brains

SourceThe brains of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) do not mature at the same rate as their peers, a US study says.

Researchers looked at 450 children - half of whom had ADHD - and found an average delay of three years in the development of the cortex.

Hmmm.... I wonder if this is true, and if this also occurs with people who have ADD. It also says, overtime alot of people, grow out of ADHD, I also wonder if this is the case with ADD.

I live with a person that ADHD and he very active all the time ... so yea
