[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many - but certainly not all - gifted children also have a learning disability or ADHD. They might struggle with executive function skills or maintaining sustained focus in non-preferred subjects, so their grades don’t match their standardized test scores.[/quote] Well, the Washington area is also filled with successful non LD kids, so it’s not that high a percentage I don’t think. Several of my friends’ sent their ‘profoundly gifted’ kids to top private schools here and by the end they decided their kid was ‘pretty darned normal’.[/quote] Kids who are "profoundly gifted" are in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. It is unlikely that several of your friends had kids in this category. [/quote]
