[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my child exactly.  GT/LD massive discrepency with processing and other scores (verbal, etc).  [b]Hit a wall in 5 - 6th grade[/b].  I never in a million years would have thought she had any form of ADD or ADHD.  Guess what, she was thoroughly tested at Stixrud and is inattentive ADHD.  She is now on low dose concerta and is a happier child and is working to her FULL potential… meaning processing speed has improved tremedously. She is now in middle school at one of the challenging all girls schools in the area and doing extremely well.  While some people are telling you this profile does not = ADHD inattentive, I am another person telling you there is STRONG correleation with this profile (it also inlcudes anxiety which has been much reduced by her abililty to actually work at her ability).   Once you address the learning profile you will likely see that your child is able to be successful at many academic institutions. Good luck and check out Stixrud[/quote]

Agree.  I'm a PP. Both kids (different sex) hit a wall around 5th and 6th grade and unfortunately had traditional, punitive teachers at the time.  Everything seemed normal up to that time then suddenly homework is more onerous, takes more time, Johnny now hates school, grades start to falter, etc.   Yes both ADHD-inattentive.[/quote]
