[quote=Anonymous]My DD is similar. 99 percentile in verbal comprehension and 10th percentile in processing speed. We did not get the ADHD diagnosis until age 16 though, so medicating for that earlier may have helped. My DD can handle the intellectual rigor of honors classes but gets easily overwhelmed with the amount of information she has to process which causes a lot of anxiety. It became more pronounced as she got older - later middle school is when it became particularly challenging and we looked at alternative schooling options. We were never able to find the balance of a school that could challenge her intellectually but also keep her from being overwhelmed. Maybe those are mutually exclusive. She is currently in community college and I expect will transfer to a 4 year college, but despite high stats, we will look for a mid-range school and a reduced schedule to see if that works. Stay flexible is my best advice.[/quote]
