ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a prevalent disorder that is frequently discovered when a child begins school. In our demographic, about 2% of boys and girls have been diagnosed with the illness. Although ADHD is the most common reason for a child's visit to a mental health professional, diagnosing ADHD gets more challenging when additional conditions are present (Brown, 2000). Despite these reservations, research has shown that many of the symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention and impulsivity, are also present in smart and talented children. In some situations, gifted children's high intelligence, improper curriculum, and common behavioural features might lead to a misdiagnosis. In other circumstances, gifted and talented youngsters with ADHD hide their ADHD symptoms behind their intelligence and talents. The present paper highlights existing research on the co-occurrence of ADHD with a high IQ. Our findings imply that the co-occurrence of ADHD and high IQ is possible, even though there is a considerable risk of misdiagnosis due to certain factors mentioned in this paper, and that diagnosis of ADHD among people with high IQ is valid.
