Affected. Yes.

I was diagnosed with Dyslexia at 8,  ADD at 50 and Asperger’s at 56.

Since being diagnosed and treated, my life has improved TREMENDOUSLY!

I am still kind of mad at God for giving me a defective brain, but that is mostly because I think these afflictions are a curse, and see no purpose for having them.

KC5JCK may be on to something. I think a refinement of his formula might be:

BASE IQ * (.80)  =ADHD adjusted IQ

That is just the ADD/ADHD factor.

ADHD adjusted IQ * (.95)^N  = Perceived IQ

Where N is the number of additional persistent developmental disorders you may have.

I haven’t thought about this much 😛
