[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 2E -- really high IQ, but ADHD (both inattentive and impulsive). They have slow processing speed, along with the ADHD-typical responses to the really wide battery of tests given by the neuropsych. To my knowledge, a little less than a third of their upper-elementary-school private school class seems to have an ADHD diagnoses. My child knows who goes to the nurse with them to get ADHD meds at lunchtime. It's true that all of us work better on stimulants. But ADHD kids need them just to function tolerably in the classroom. It is absolutely nothing to envy. My brilliant-yet-impulsive child is capable of doing terrifyingly dangerous things that a moment's thought would tell them are an awful idea, and I not-occasionally fear that they'll do something that'll get us both killed in a horrific freak accident.
