Dottie,
Is this quite common in the U.S?! So far I have only run across studies that found the opposite ratio or worse, in favor of boys of course, and that - worldwide.
CAMom,
Is there a single test done in the U.S. to identify all exceptionalities? Seems surprising, or maybe I didn't understand. In Israel, all kids pass a screening test for giftedness, but only thise suspected with ADHD (or ADD) are diagnosed for it; and anyway, there is very little awareness of the fact that the "symptoms" may be very similar. Try telling a teacher here that your child bounces because he's bored... :-( You'd have to count on your luck, hope that the specific teacher understands it.
