Understanding the Role of IQ in ADHD Diagnosis
The discussion highlights a growing belief that individuals with higher IQs may not experience ADHD, which raises concerns about diagnostic criteria. This notion stems from previous studies that suggest higher intelligence could lead to better coping mechanisms and may mask ADHD symptoms. Consequently, people with higher IQs are frequently excluded from ADHD research, potentially skewing the understanding of how ADHD affects varied populations. It’s essential to recognize the complexity of ADHD beyond IQ levels, advocating for a broader and more inclusive approach in research and diagnosis.
