[quote=Anonymous]We finally got our 14 year old tested and found out that she has an off-the-charts IQ and almost zero processing speed.  Official diagnosis of ADHD.  The psychologist said that she has one one of the most unique testing profiles she's seen in 20 years. 
This kid has moved at her own pace almost since birth.  Did very well in public school (many late assignments but the "no due dates" policy and frankly--the lack of rigor-- allowed her to still do very well).  She hit a wall when we moved her to a very rigorous 
private with firm due dates, 3 hours of homework per night and long exams.

If this is your kid, what has helped in school and what kind of schooling has worked?  We are open to medication, changing schools, etc.  Anything really. 
The super low processing speed is our main concern. She works at a turtle's pace but then turns in perfect tests, extraordinary essays (per her teachers), etc.  
She's nothing like our other (neuro typical, average) kid so this is new to us. [/quote]
