My child is very bright. He can't have AD/HD, too, can he?
Yes. Intelligence and AD/HD are separate. It is possible to be intellectually gifted and have AD/HD, too. However, AD/HD may impact academic performance. When a child is identified as both gifted and as a child with AD/HD, this is often called twice exceptional. School accommodations may be appropriate.
For more information visit the Information Center on Disabilities and Gifted Education. Publication number E649 is called "Gifted Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)"
