Through my experiences I have seen individuals labeled ADD/ADHD/Autistic with very high intelligences. They may not have the same high intelligences in all areas. Some areas are more well developed than others. Many of who we have labeled "geniuses" in the past more than likely had learning struggles in other areas outside their genius.
