The thread was not in response to any other thread - just sharing my experience.

Anyone with a child experiencing difficulties should find a legitimate education expert and have the child properly evaluated. Many would argue ADHD is way over diagnosed.

As far as IQ score, I don't think the tests have the same scoring scale and there is more to it than that. Plus, there is an intensity involved with giftedness that needs to be understood.

But yes, it is quite normal for high IQ people to have a hard time paying attention. They said Einstein was retarded so you do the math. Pun intended.
