  • Despite theory and research laced with practice spanning at least a century, the identification of gifted and talented individuals continues to be a conundrum that sadly serves only to overlook many persons—particularly school-aged youth. Such oversight unfortunately often amounts to inappropriate, unnecessary, or neglectful educational accommodations, and parents who tend to look to schools for guidance for home-based interventions may very well end up feeling frustrated and puzzled as to how best rear their children. This chapter probes giftedness as it interacts with other diagnoses, particularly attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It discusses what ADHD is and is not, and how it influences individuals. ADHD in reality is a collection of three types of disorders that impact academic and social performance among children and can extend into adulthood by limiting focusing ability and task completion. The three types of disorders are: inattentive type; combined type; and hyperactive/impulsive type. Psychologists or medical doctors can use a variety of methods to aid in identification of ADHD, including clinical interviews, behavioral checklists, intelligence tests, and specific attention measures. With the current area of literature, the field of twice-exceptional work investigating giftedness and ADHD has created a solid foundation of research; however, much remains unknown.
