I know that a certain percentage of adults who were diagnosed with ADHD tend to "grow out of it" as they reach adulthood. Is the reason simply that they were misdiagnosed?

Not really DSM-5 is pretty accurate for ADHD. It's more of a misinterpretation to say they "grow out of it" they still have it for life just typically they learn to better manage the symptoms. Also ADHD is more pronounced in kids because they spend the most of their time in a structured environment and as they grow up they typically pursue and maintain careers where their diagnosis does not hold them back as much.
