If My Child Has AD/HD, Does That Mean She’s Not As Smart As Other Kids?

Not at all. There is no relationship between Attention Deficit Disorder and intelligence.

Based entirely on my own experience, I would say that people with AD/HD tend to be above average in intelligence, and are highly innovative and creative thinkers. I personally have worked with 2 clients who had genius IQs and yet struggled with AD/HD to the point that they were barely passing high school.
