Do you think ADHD and IQ are related? How can ADHD people be geniuses?

PS: IM 25 YR OLD MEDICAL STUDENT WITH ADHD just started med last yr of my uni ... to state i struggeled concentrating for 7 years so far till this year i did the tova and i discovered im a typical ADHD ...

I think it's because your brains are in high gear all the time. (My son had this. It's the way we compared our brains. To a cars engine.) So, your thinking really fast all the time. He could be doing something, and me telling him something, like helping with school and reading to him, and I would think he wasn't paying attention and I'd make him tell me what I said and he'd always know! So, your able to take more in at a time than the average person. And remember it. Good luck in your career!

ADHD and ADD are different.
ADHD is a physically hyperactive state of being, in which you fidget all the time and constantly feel the need to run and jump around.
ADD is a mentally hyperactive state of mind, where you think about a million things and can't concentrate on just one for an extended period of time.
There have been no medical studies that showed direct correlation between the ADD/ADHD and intelligence.

There may be a possible correlation. I am diagnosed ADHD, and have struggled on and off in my life with various issues. However, I am also a Phd student and have all but to finish my dissertation. I have also graduated summa *** laude for both my bachelor's and master's. For some reason, I can excel at school, despite feeling like my brain is a box full of marbles. That being said, ADHD has made a mess of other aspects of my life.

you can be smart and just not pay attention. there's a such thing. :)
