Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Another gifted/ADHD question

First question I'd ask myself: does he exhibit these same behaviors at home? (if not, then I'd say no)

Next: does he fit the DSM criteria? http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/symptom.htm

The messy desk and bad handwriting just say "possible VSL" to me. See this article - maybe it'll help flesh things out - there's a chart http://www.visualspatial.org/Articles/george.pdf

that's my two cents


p.s. no you're not bad parents!!!
