[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 387780, member: 3930"] Anyone read it? It is from 1995 so might be outdated - but there is a part in the book that says: "There are also psychological tests that can provide additional evidence in making a diagnosis. Certain subtests of the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children)- a standard test for children-may suggest ADD. Typically, the subscores for [U]digit span[/U], [U]arithmetic[/U], and [U]coding[/U] [B]are low[/B] in ADD. Additionally, there is often a [U]wide split between[/U] what is called the [U]verbal subscore and[/U] what is called the [U]performance subscore[/U]." Do you think this is still true? Do you think this is most often the case? I don't recall ever reading this before. Do you think you could look at any intelligence test and expect to see a wide split between the verbal and performance subscores in people with ADHD? [/QUOTE]
