			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Bright students are not immune from the cognitive difficulties that plague other children and adolescents with attention deficit disorder, a new Yale study has found.</h3>
<h3>For the complete report: <a href="http://www.addrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/High-IQ-Kids-with-ADHD.pdf">High-IQ-Kids-with-ADHD</a></h3>
<p><strong>Youth with high IQs and ADHD suffered difficulty with working memory, processing speed, organization and focus</strong>, according to the study published online July 26 in the Open Journal of Psychiatry.</p>
<p>“When children and adolescents with high IQ and ADD are struggling with their studies, parents, teachers and physicians tend to blame their difficulties with focus and output on laziness or lack of motivation.,” said Thomas E. Brown, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, associate director of the Yale Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders and senior author of the study. <strong>“They assume that a high IQ student cannot suffer from ADD.”</strong></p>
<p>Researchers identified 117 students ages six to 17 years old with IQ scores within the top 9% of the population. All these students fully met diagnostic criteria for ADD. The study measured IQ, narrative recall and ability to organize and initiate tasks while managing frustration.</p>
<p><strong>Brown found patterns of impairment in all of these measures in this sample of youths with ADD.</strong></p>
<p>For instance, a high IQ child without ADD is likely to have high scores on all four sections of the IQ test, but 75-80% of those with ADD scored high on two sections but significantly lower on working memory and processing speed. In the narrative recall test, most children who do well on the verbal portion of the IQ test do well on recall, high IQ children with ADD did considerably worse.</p>
<p><strong>High IQ children with ADD are rarely diagnosed with ADD until late</strong> in their schooling, after the disorder has caused lasting damage to their academics and self-esteem, Brown said.</p>
<p>Brown hopes that this study increases awareness of parents, educators and physicians that <strong>ADD can occur in smart children</strong> &#8211; and that it can be diagnosed and treated.</p>
<p>This study extends findings these same researchers obtained in an earlier published study of 157 high IQ adults with ADD. Similar results were obtained in both age groups.</p>

<div>TDAH es la abreviación de trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad. Los niños con TDAH pueden tener un comportamiento hiperactivo, falta de atención y dificultad para concentrarse. La mayoría de los niños con TDAH tienen señas tanto de hiperactividad como de problemas de atención. Sin embargo, algunos niños tan solo pueden tener señas de falta de atención. Este tipo de problema se solía llamar trastorno por déficit de atención, TDA. El TDA ahora se cree que es una forma de TDAH.<br />
Señas de comportamiento hiperactivo</p>
<p>Inquietud y agitación casi constantes<br />
No sentarse en el mismo asiento durante mucho tiempo<br />
Correr o treparse a la hora o en el lugar equivocado<br />
Hablar demasiado<br />
Jugar haciendo mucho ruido siempre<br />
Siempre se está moviendo<br />
Responde a preguntas en el colegio sin esperar su turno<br />
Colarse en la fila o ser incapaz de esperar su turno en actividades<br />
Interrumpir a los demás</p>
<p>¿Cómo puedo saber si mi niño tiene TDAH?</p>
<p>Podría ayudarle hacerse algunas preguntas acerca del comportamiento de su niño. Este panfleto provee una lista de algunas de las preguntas que usted y el médico de su niño pueden discutir. De hecho, si usted ha hablado con su médico acerca del comportamiento de su niño su médico puede ya haberle hecho algunas de estas preguntas.<br />
¿Hace cuánto que su niño ha sido muy activo?</p>
<p>Los niños hiperactivos con TDAH han tenido problemas con comportamiento hiperactivo e impulsivo desde antes de la edad de siete años. Las madres de los niños con TDAH inclusive recuerdan que su bebé era muy activo cuando estaba en el útero. Además, los padres de los niños con TDAH con frecuencia los describen como niños que fueron muy quisquillosos y difíciles de callar cuando eran bebés.<br />
Señas de una falta de atención</p>
<p>Dificultad para seguir instrucciones<br />
No parecen prestarle atención a los padres o a los profesores<br />
No son capaces de concentrarse en actividades<br />
Frecuentemente pierden las cosas que necesitan en la casa o para el colegio<br />
No son capaces de poner atención a los detalles<br />
Parecen ser desorganizados<br />
No son capaces de planear con anterioridad efectivamente<br />
Ser olvidadizos<br />
Parecen ser muy distraídos</p>
<p>¿El comportamiento de su niño es un problema en varios entornos diferentes?</p>
<p>El TDAH es menos probable si su niño solo muestra problemas de comportamiento en la casa pero no en otros lugares tales como el colegio o el supermercado. Los problemas relacionados con el TDAH con frecuencia empeoran donde hay mayor actividad y ruido. Los niños con TDAH muestran algunas de las señas de hiperactividad en varios entornos diferentes; por ejemplo, en el salón de clase, en el lugar de juego y en la casa mirando la televisión. Los niños con TDAH con frecuencia pueden enfocarse con las actividades rápidas de los dibujos animados y de los juegos de video. Pero a pesar de que sus ojos están en la pantalla, están inquietos con los brazos y las piernas.<br />
Cuándo su niño se está comportando mal, ¿parece como si él o ella estuviera en &#8220;otro mundo&#8221;?</p>
<p>Los niños con TDAH no pueden controlar al menos algunos de sus comportamientos hiperactivos e impulsivos. Sospeche de TDAH si su niño parece estar &#8220;en otro mundo&#8221; y no le responde cuando el se está trepando o se está portando mal de algún modo. E cambio, los niños que se portan mal a propósito, con frecuencia miran a ver cómo están reaccionando los adultos a su mal comportamiento.<br />
¿Usted está más enojado o más frustrado con su niño?</p>
<p>Algunas veces es normal que los padres se enojen con sus niños, especialmente cuando se portan mal a propósito. La hiperactividad de los niños con TDAH es irritante, pero los padres pueden sentir que su niño simplemente no —a diferencia de que no quiere— se puede estar quieto o callado. Los padres se sienten más<br />
¿Su niño puede completar actividades o su casa está llena de juegos y de proyectos que él no terminó?</p>
<p>Los niños con TDAH con frecuencia pierden interés en una actividad en cinco minutos, o inclusive en menos. Pasan de una actividad a otra, y a otra y a otra. Usted le puede pedir a su niño muchas veces que recoja los juguetes pero él o ella ni siquiera es capaz de concentrarse lo suficiente para hacer eso.<br />
¿El haber disciplinado a su niño le ha servido?</p>
<p>Los padres de los niños con TDAH usualmente lo han &#8220;intentado todo&#8221;; desde ignorar el mal comportamiento de sus niños, hasta darles &#8220;tiempo-fuera&#8221;, hasta darles palmadas y nada parece estar funcionando.<br />
¿Qué debo hacer si pienso que mi niño tiene TDAH?</p>
<p>Hable con el médico de su niño. Un diagnóstico de TDAH puede hacerse solamente obteniendo información acerca del comportamiento de su niño de varias personas que conocen a su niño. Su médico le hará preguntas y querrá obtener información de los maestros de su niño o de cualquier persona que esté familiarizada con el comportamiento de su niño.</p>
<p>Su médico también le hará exámenes de la vista y de la audición si es que estos no se le han hecho recientemente. Su médico también puede tener formas o listas para chequear que usted y el maestro de su niño pueden completar. Esto le ayudará a usted y a su médico a comparar el comportamiento de su niño con el de otros niños.</p>
<p>Puede ser difícil para su médico saber si su niño tiene TDAH. Por esta razón, es posible que su médico quiera que usted vea a alguien, por ejemplo a un psicólogo que se especialice en ayudar a niños con problemas de comportamiento. Muchos niños con TDAH no son hiperactivos en el consultorio del médico.</p>
<p>Su médico le puede recomendar ensayar con medicamento para ver si le ayuda a controlar el comportamiento hiperactivo de su niño. Un ensayo con medicamento solamente no puede ser la base para diagnosticar un TDAH pero puede ser una parte importante de evaluar a su niño si se sospecha un TDAH</p></div>
