[quote=Anonymous]My daughter (15) has low processing speed and is just the slowest and most deliberate person on the planet and has been since she was a toddler.  She takes forever to shower, dress, write, eat, etc.  She did very well in school until we moved her to a super academic private school and the wheels totally came off because she couldn't keep up with the amount of homework the school assigned.

We just had her evaluated and she was officially given an ADHD diagnosis but the psychologist said that she doesn't exactly fit the profile.  She's really just a slow processor (but like many, she came back with a high IQ).

Interestingly, she's SUPER social and has a high EQ so she's able to process social signals quickly enough or at least in a way that others like.  She is probably the most "adored" kid I've ever met--she almost instantly makes good friends, is loved by teachers, etc.

I have two other kids and they are very typical (middle of the road)--academically, socially, etc.  This child is (and always has been) her own person entirely.  [/quote]
