Understanding ADHD Across Different Ages

How ADHD shows up differently throughout life

While the core features of ADHD are consistent, they can manifest differently and create distinct challenges depending on age and life circumstances:

ADHD in Children

For children, ADHD can impact:

  • Academic Performance: Difficulty with organization, completing assignments, following multi-step instructions, and staying focused during lessons
  • Social Development: Challenges with sharing, taking turns, understanding social cues, and maintaining friendships
  • Emotional Regulation: Big feelings, frustration when things don’t go as expected, and difficulty bouncing back from setbacks
  • Self-Esteem: Feelings of being “different” or struggling more than peers, which can impact confidence
  • Family Life: Difficulties with routines, chores, following household rules, and managing transitions
ADHD in Adolescents

For teenagers, ADHD can impact:

  • Academic Challenges: Complex project management, note-taking, test preparation, and planning for future goals
  • Social Relationships: Understanding social dynamics, managing peer pressure, and developing romantic relationships
  • Identity Development: Questions about their abilities, future potential, and where they fit in
  • Independence Skills: Learning to drive, managing money, preparing for college or career
  • Emotional Intensity: Mood swings, risk-taking behaviors, and difficulty with impulse control

What Amazing People Say

I’ve been working with Ashley for four years, and she has helped me more than I can put into words. When I first started therapy, I felt lost and sad but with her knowledge, compassion, and steady support, I’ve grown so much as a person. Ashley helped me learn how to navigate the unexpected and trust myself again. I’m more confident, grounded, and able to face challenges in ways I never could before. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her!

I have worked with Ms. Shawnta McMillon-Brown for a few years now, and I cannot speak highly enough about their service. They have been nothing but understanding and respectful in all aspects of my care. I would highly recommend their services for any sort of emotional or mental guidance. Thank you, Ms. Shawnta.

When I hit a rough patch in life and was ordered to come here for the courts. I was upset and wasn't open to the idea but it was very needed and Ms Shawnta is amazing. I remember my 1st appt telling her I didn't need therapy and now 2 yrs later I'm doing it on my own(not court ordered)... It's nothing like having a non judgemental ear to hear you out and guide you.i highly recommend this place!

Hands down therapist Ms. Erica is amazing therapist! I highly recommend PIL , I’m so grateful for their support and knowledge assisting my love one. PIL is a very professional facility and my love one felt comfortable and safe. Therapist Ms Erica provided outstanding strategies and coping skills for my love one. The office is very welcoming and comforting.

Once I started therapy, I felt I didn’t need it or it wasn’t necessary. It took a lot out of me to admit my feelings and take the steps to get better. Once I started my new job as a 911 call taker and I realized I still had some scars that needed to heal deep down. But happy to say I love my therapist and she’s very open with communication and everything I have to say. I would recommend this service to anybody. I really would.

PIL Professional Counseling is truly an amazing place. From the moment you make contact, you can tell the whole team is dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment. They are professional, compassionate, and really make you feel cared for. A special shoutout to Ashley Dais, who has been wonderful to work with—she’s kind, thoughtful, and always makes me feel heard. That said, it’s clear PIL as a whole is full of counselors and staff who genuinely care about their clients. I’d highly recommend PIL to anyone looking for quality counseling with people who go above and beyond.

I have no trouble understanding the staff and it inspires me that they have accomplished so much. I’ve had a few therapists in my life, but none compares to the progress I’ve made with Marcia! I’d also like to respond to the fellow soliciting lodging complaints. I agree with your assessor. You should take the classes and try to learn something. Some things we have no control over. Innocent or guilty, the law is the law. That you expect things to go a certain way doesn’t mean they will. Accept it. And the woman, Marcia, isn’t a receptionist. She is a full fledged therapist. I’m 55 and this is my first dui. I was sitting in my car in my own driveway. You,sir, are not special. Try to put yourself in their shoes. They have to try to help ASAP clients with bad attitudes like yours. Sometimes you have to shoot from the hip. Stop being a crybaby and don’t sit in your car drunk. Live and learn and watch that displaced anger. Be safe and God bless.

If you have court ordered asap or just need help with alcohol and substance abuse this is by far the only place to go they do not treat you like an alcoholic or a drug addict they teach you about life and ways to cope with things so you don't turn to drugs or alcohol I would highly recommend them

These guys have got out of the way for me, and the staff is friendly. if you see them first and you have an out-of-state DUI, there's a possibility they can help you without going to ASAP
