The issues with high IQ and ADHD are outlined well in Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis of Gifted Children and Adults.

There is no link between high IQ and ADHD, except that they can mask each other or one can be mistaken for the other due to similar behaviours.

I have both. And borderline dyspraxia. I have no superpowers.

I’m kind though, and caring. So maybe I could have that on my chest while I’m wearing my underpants on the outside!
