I whole heartedly agree with the recommendations to have a private evaluation.

The best advice I received from dd's psychologist was to "treat" her for giftedness first. If the ADD behaviors went away, then she was gifted. If they didn't go away, then she "might" have ADD too. A year has past, I still don't know if dd has ADD, but I do see her intellectual needs coming closer to being met and her attention is much improved.
