Hi La Texican, I think this is the research you want (gifted brain cortex thickness study):
So in other words, the kids with the superior IQ levels are subject to very ADHD-like behaviours at the age when my DS8 was diagnosed (7 yrs) with severe combined type. Hmm. I'm looking at the blue line on the graph again and seeing that at age 7, the highest IQs had the thinnest cortices.
I just love threads like this (mis-dx of ADHD = one of my pet peeves).
(Mind you... there are days when I'm certain he has it.)
