🧠 Higher intelligence in children with ADHD doesn't always mean fewer symptoms; specific types of high intelligence can be linked to greater impulsivity.
🧠 A study of 5,138 children with ADHD found higher verbal IQ correlated with less inattention but also more impulsivity.
🧠 Performance IQ showed a U-shaped pattern in adolescents 12+, meaning both very low and very high scores were linked to greater impulsivity.
🧠 Brain scans in a subset of children revealed that higher verbal IQ was associated with a larger surface area in a brain region linked to impulse regulation.
