[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine did. I was given advanced math and reading in 6th grade to work on on my own because I was so far ahead of the other students. In 7th grade I dropped to Cs and by 10th there were Ds sprinkled in there. Undiagnosed/untreated ADHD and horrible home life with an abusive stepfather (my mother married him when I was in 8th, but he was being awful before that when I was in 7th). Before 7th grade, I was so far ahead of everyone that I never had homework. Once I had things that needed to be worked on at home in a bad/distracting environment, I literally couldn't do it. Not saying your house is like this OP. Just giving my experience/context and would encourage you to consider ADHD -- you can see it appear somewhat late in super smart kids because up to a certain age/grade they are compensating/masking and it works. [/quote] Same here. I'm looking to get an ADHD diagnoses at 39. Better late than never, I suppose.[/quote]
