Do ADHD or ADD people have normal IQ? Is their IQ above or below average?
Question:
Do you think people who suffer from ADHD or ADD have above or below average intelligence?
Answers:
Many times people with ADHD or ADD that have high IQ's do not get diagnosed until late in their life, because they didn't experience the same difficulty in school that other people with ADHD or ADD did. They are able to "fake" it better because they are naturally smarter. I know someone with ADHD who has a genius level IQ, and he's always gotten okay grades with almost no effort just because he's so smart, but at the same time he can't study effectively, he has a very difficult time with his thought process, and he suffers from ADHD in other ways in his life. ADHD and ADD just isn't about acting out in school. It's an entirely different wiring of the brain. Some people can cope with it better because they do have higher IQ's, thus it isn't as noticed.
