What is the difference between ADHD vs giftedness? I have been look this up for a while and I haven't found a clear site. How does someone know if they have ADHD when they have giftedness or vice versa? I believe I have ADHD but I have giftedness so I don't know if I have ADHD or if I just have giftedness. I have heard that ADHD can be hidden in a student with giftedness until a time where their smartness is at the same level as everyone else and that is me at the moment. I have been able to compensate on my AD/HD symptoms until about 3-4 years ago when I started to have worse and worse symptoms.
Can you explain to be the difference? Thanks.
Also, even writing this I am distracted by the TV in the background. It's getting hard enough.
