[QUOTE="DDD, post: 204832, member: 35"] Gifted children often present with symptoms of ADHD. My easy child/difficult child was put on medications at 6 because he couldn't stay focused. When the gifted testing was done, however, the experts in that field felt confident that he was not in need of ADHD medications so much as he was in need of appropriate teaching methods etc. It's hard sifting through it all, I know. When the school probided quality gifted instructors (never more than five hours a week, by the way and in high school only one hour a week where the gifted kids ate lunch together and were "able to discuss their difficulties" :raspberry-tounge:...stupid school board!) his attention was riveted and those teachers did not find active learning a problem! Weird. DDD [/QUOTE]
