Can a gifted child have adhd?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Yes, there are many examples of highly talented and successful adults who have adhd--some began as "gifted" children in some areas. It is a disability that requires extra efforts, but it does not necessarily result in disappointing outcomes or unsatisfying lives over the long term.

Dr. Smith speaks the: truth. Multimodal treatment consisting of behavioral therapy, environmental manipulations & medication management are vital for academically gifted children with ADHD to reach their potential. They benefit from a "section 504" in school for test accommodations. Many start learning how to structure their environment for optimal learning & academic output by age 10. See CHADD.org.
