Attention deficit disorders are also diagnosed in adults

It's a common notion that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a problem that mostly affects children. But increasingly the syndrome is being recognized and treated in adults. Although the exact prevalence in adults is unknown, epidemiologic studies thus far reveal that the condition, marked by inattentiveness, difficulty getting work done, procrastination, or organization problems, probably exists in about 2-4% of adults. The condition persists to adulthood in about half of children diagnosed with the disorder.
