I myself am diagnosed with ADD and I have not noticed anny changes of worse or beter; I don't think that it can, but I do think that you and himself can find ways to cope with it as he gets older. Unfortnunately you have to fail at somethings in order to improve your life, that is you and everybodys else evolvs or time, we succeed from our failures. I actually think that it gets better over time, because like I said, you find way to cope with it.
