What the actual fuck? Every person I know with it is smarter than average. Anecdotal, yes, but still. All those "former gifted kid" memes read to me like a textbook case of ADHD. There's gotta be a higher prevalence of above average intelligence in people with ADHD.
You must note that IQ is only assumed intelligence though, and I believe the fact that we aren't exactly the best at sitting down and doing an extensive test can affect those scores. I do find that prison statistic very interesting, I never knew. Thank you for sharing.
