I spoke on another thread about how I suspected by DS may be gifted in visual spatial learning due to his test scores when he just turned 6 and was diagnosed with ADHD. The scores are here if you're interested:

He has a Snap Circuits kit which he loves and we got it out again this week for the first time in many months. It didn't hit me before, I guess because I never considered that he may be gifted, but I noticed that he can sit alone and focus and play with it for an hour or more. Also, he doesn't follow the projects that come with it, he insists on making up his own.
A lot of material I've read about misdiagnosis of ADHD states that the lack of concentration and focus should be in ALL areas which makes me wonder. Thoughts?
