[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indicators of what?  That your kid has ADHD?[/quote]

Yes, DC has ADHD.  I'm seeking indicators of school and life success?  I scored horribly (like at the sub primate level) on the GRE for one of my advanced degrees, and graduated with honors.  I don't have ADHD.    [/quote]

The test scores aren't indicators of anything other than test scores.  I have two nephews,  the younger has an IQ of 145 while the older has an IQ of 125.  The older boy out performs the younger in just about every way.  Factors like motivation, diligence, tenacity, etc. counts more than a IQ score.[/quote]

IQ of 125 still high though. OP, same thing happened with my kid and to be honest, I don't think the test results made any sense and don't correspond with anything else she's ever taken.  Did they identify any LDs? That's the most important thing to focus on, IMO.[/quote]

I'm the OP.  Someone else commented on their kids with iQs of 125.  It seems obvious there are LDs.  Processing speed very very low, average to below average on achievement.  96 percentile on verbal.  I've been told dx has adhd and lds.  How do you determine what they are?   Also someone's filmed executive function tutors.  Do you have any you'd recommend? Also, what camps might I look at.  DC is in private school now.  Thank you![/quote]
