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 😛
