[quote=Anonymous]It depends how impacted they are, OP.

My son has a high IQ with autism, severe inattentive ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, learning disabilities and physical issues stemming from a micro-premature birth. He needed physical, feeding and occupational therapy as an infant and toddler, and years of speech therapy and gymnastics work. He couldn't function in the classroom without an aide in elementary school and had an IEP until 11th grade.

With much work on his part, Adderall, teaching him social understanding, and constant executive function coaching, he was able to become a stellar student and is now doing well in college. But we needed to recenter the family's life around his needs. He was in the GT/LD program in MCPS.

My other kid has a higher IQ than he does and milder ADHD and anxiety. She's been a dream to parent, is several grades ahead in math, and is in all advanced courses without ever needing outside help from anyone, plus is a competent hose back rider, wins music competitions in her instrument, writes stories and draws as a hobby. She's "technically" 2E... but not what I would call functionally 2E. She just presents as gifted.
