I have wondered for a couple of years about ADHD with regard to DS6. But, some prominent experts in the field of gifted education are of the perspective that overexcitabilities and asynchronous development can account for ADD-type behaviors. They caution that there is overdiagnosis of ADD (

What we are doing now is getting a full neuropsych eval (per advice I got on this forum) with experienced testers knowledgable about gifted traits. It will cost a significant amount of money, but at least I'll finally have an answer that I can rely upon, and hopefully some information on how to help my son with the issues, regardless of cause.
Good luck to you - I hope you find what you're looking for.
