Does Adhd Make You Dumb?

Having ADHD can affect your behavior in all sorts of ways; such as: acting impulsively and doing something you feel embarrassed about, not being able to follow a conversation and then feeling 'stupid'.

Does ADHD affect intelligence?

Does ADHD affect IQ? A popular misconception is that all children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are naturally smarter and have a higher IQ than children without ADHD. However, there is no correlation between this condition and intelligence.
