By how many points had adhd affected your child’s scores?

Did you test before and after medication?

My child has ADHD and DC's IQ is in the 99.5%. DC was tested on medication. If you want a clear before/after, I don't have that. Other than to say the WISC was nominally higher than the Cogat, which was at the 98% level. If anything, I think the meds are helping.

Interesting question. My ADHD/ASD teen had a medicated IQ test with a 124 GAI years ago, and the rest (processing speed and working memory) was very low. Fast forward to now, under meds that apparently don't work as well, his GAI is now at 145, but the rest is even more abysmally low (second percentile). Both times full scale IQ could not be reported. So... were the meds from before slightly helping in the processing and working memory department? That's what I conclude, but it's not certain, since there was an interval of 7 years between the tests and his physical growth and perhaps brain habituation may come into play.

What's clear is that my son is gravely handicapped in the processing speed realm, and it's sadly apparent to everyone, every day of his life. The very high cognitive abilities are not. We need to find him a job where he can utilize his intellect, but where they won't care that he's always late and extraordinarily slow! Any ideas?

NP - system administration and operations is probably better than pure programming, because if you're working on something big, holding everything in working memory gets difficult. Plus there's more for adrenaline junkies to latch onto.

Old academia was more add friendly. New academia is more heavily bureaucratic, selecting for dot the i and cross the t types.

How does getting/knowing an exact IQ score help, beyond qualifying for services? My kids have widely various levels of performance in math, reading, writing, etc.
