Is there social hope for ADHD children?

[LRM1021]

With treatment, and early intervention, can ADHD children have a normal social relationship with peers? My sons condition has not has terrible impact socially - yet -- but I fear it will.
I am scared for his future.

Thank you very much doctor. My son has not had any serious social problems in school this year -- yet-- but we are trying to get to him as quickly as possible so that they do not develop.

Children who display ADHD and receive treatment can be expected to enjoy normal social relationships. It is untreated ADHD that can invite relationship difficulties. If a youngster truly displays ADHD, and the condition is treated with success, and the child still shows relationship problems, some other concern besides ADHD is likely present.
