> Contrast that will ADD/ADHD. I'm not convinced it has anything to do with maturity or a lack thereof. Sure, mindfulness meditation helps quite a bit. But I think you can be mature, self sufficient, polite, etc, and yet still have ADHD, or immature, etc. and have ADHD.
There is a very good video about 30 essential things parents should know about ADHD

One of them is that when unmedicated on average a person with ADHD has the maturity of someone 2/3 of its age.
Its is just an average, but is relevant to think how different a 14 years old and a 21 years old are (or 20 and 30).
- smt88 8y agoEverything I've ever learned about biology suggests the 2/3 rule is nonsense. Neither biological age nor maturity are linear, and they vary wildly from person to person.
