We had the opposite experience. They told us that he was ADHD-Inattentive and suggested that we test privately. We did and that's how we discovered his gifted/LD profile. I know of another kid that was told the same thing (minus the Inattentive) and he came out PG with OE. There are so many ADHD diagnosed kids in most schools that it is what they are the most familiar with.
