Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment New here - would you question this 2e diagnosis?

My DS9's ADHD diagnosis led to my DH being diagnosed but looking back now, my DH's issues are so obviously ADHD. They are both also HG+ and each has a high level of intensity that I have always felt was our normal. (BTW, my DS also has a relatively low (though still above average) PSI and a WMI around 130.

My DS also has fine motor issues and does not love the physical act of writing but has great writing organization skills and has had subsequent testing to rule out other issues. Even so, I still question the ADHD diagnosis regularly until there is some issue that is clear. One thing you can always count on with ADHD is consistent inconsistency - I see that frequently.

Anyway, my DS's ADHD does not present as badly as my DH's does but ADHD is on a spectrum and different people are on a different place on the spectrum - I think my DS is a little better off because he has some of my executive functioning skills sprinkled in there and because he has support in remediating and accommodating his executive functioning issues that my DH never did.
