Is it true that ADD/ADHD affects smarter individuals in a less severe manner than....um less smart people?

even though the condition is just referred to as ADHD with primarily inattentive, primarily hyperactive/impulsive, and combined.

thank spell checker that you can read this = )

oh yeah, and this is assuming that you believe that raw intelligence can be tested. also you spelled worse wrong.

there is no way to test this because there is no perfict way of testing smarts and maybe someone with add/adhd would preform worce on a standerd iq test

From what I have seen of ADD/ADHD kids,

They are usually smarter than the average child, able to compile lots of data at one time.

This is usually after they have gotten to a point where they are able to cope with thier ADD.

Most data should correspond that once a child has learned to control their ADD, they show accelerated learning abilities.

It seems quite the opposite to me. I think of ADHD as a type of sensory overload. Mental acuity heightens the number of details assaulting the senses.
