((((hugs)))) I agree with Grinity that you should be prepared to explain how ADHD and giftedness get confused sometimes. But if you have noticed some behaviors at home that you wonder about, maybe it is a good time to see a psychologist; if you can, find one who specializes in 2E kids. There's a chart somewhere showing the similarities between gifted/ADHD. I have to run, but I'll try to post it later if no one beats me to it.

Also, I agree with Grinity to ignore the "i've been teaching gifted for 30 years." I actually like our school district's gifted coordinator, but she says some things I don't agree with (e.g. she doesn't like whole-grade acceleration).

Best of luck to you!
