It is no longer called ADD. It is now all classified as ADHD. My niece and some of her children have it and medication really does help. With that said, I just went and got my son tested yesterday to get the teacher off my back. He is gifted with a high IQ. He is not currently challenged in the public school system so they think he has ADHD. I searched out a physcologist who specializes in gifted kids because they are a bit different. He was given a 3 hour intelligence test to test his true IQ and his attention span. The physcologist said he did great and she had his attention the entire time. Can’t wait to see the results……..
