This is the second post from the Q&A session with Therapist Martha Alvarez.

Question: Is there any correlation between IQ and ADHD?

Answer: No. Many people with average, above-average, or below-average intelligence have ADHD. Your child may be smart and manage to ace tests but can still have significant difficulties when it comes to planning and organizational skills, which can affect grades later—especially in high school. Managing ADHD is more about being able to use intelligence in an effective manner.
