Actually, it's a fallacy (as you can see by this post) that any one ever outgrows asthma. Once you have it, you always have it. The strange thing about asthma is that it has a tendency to pretend to not be there for weeks, months and even years. During this time, you might think you don't have it. Yet, it also has a tendency to flare unexpectedly.
Another neat thing about asthma is that while you never really outgrow it, you can control it. With good control, you can prevent asthma symptoms, and again it will feel like you don't have it.
