I just want to make sure that the counselor/psych is knowledgable about gifted children. I am not sure if you have seen all of the information about wrongly diagnosing GT's as having ADHD/ADD because of the strong overlap of characteristics. The fact that the ped. right away jumped to that conclusion and recomm. meds is a bit frightening to me. You DC very well MAY have ADHD/ADD as well as be gifted, I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the high chance of wrongly diagnos. and to find out if the couns./psych is familiar with GT's.
GOOD LUCK!
