Many people think if you have adhd you automatically don't to well in school, which is not true, many adders have problems in school but some do very well. I have ADHD and made the deans honours list. There's 400+members of Mensa in an ADHD special interest group. so if you have inattentive ADHD, and you're gifted you're twice as likely to be missed on getting diagnosed for ADHD. Hi Gillian, what makes it even easier to miss getting diagnosed for ADHD, is if you’re gifted and ADHD.

It's pretty likely that I had ADHD as a child, though it was more that I got in trouble for not paying attention on a regular basis. Luckily I was really smart and managed to do well in school despite of that. On the other hand, I did get hit by one particular teacher.
