[quote=Anonymous]OP, Processing speed and attention vary wildly among children. They are not necessarily commensurate with intelligence. My ADHD/ASD kid with low processing speed took hours in elementary, middle and high school, to finish the simplest of tasks. He also has a high IQ. My quick-witted, hyper-functional kid never brought work home until 9th grade - she finished everything at school, during class, while the teacher was talking. Straight As. So know your kid, and if you are worried about inattention or processing speed, maybe have your child evaluated by a psychologist. ADHD can be treated with meds, and low processing speed can be mitigated somewhat by explicitly teaching study skills, close reading, and writing strategies.[/quote]
