Associatoin of giftedness with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or specific learning disorders in children and andolescents: a systematic review
Summary:
Objective: The past few years a lot of conversation is taking place regarding
children diagnosed with nuerodevelopmental disorder as well as an outstanding
talent in different domains. Conversely, gifted children exhibiting special skills may
mask their disability with their talent or vice versa. A systematic review was
conducted in order to identify the correlation between giftedness and
neurodevelopmental disorders. The association between giftedness and attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder or learning disorders is discussed here.
Methods: A systematic review via PubMed, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and
Embase search was performed.
Results: A total of 6069 studies were examined, and 32 of them were deemed
eligible for the systematic review. Only 22 of them was referring to the correlation
between giftedness and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or learning disorders.
Divergent findings were revealed, depending on different diagnostic and assessment
tools used.
Conclusion: More investigation is required to assess the field of dual
exceptionality. Longitudinal studies are necessary, indicating methodological
challenges related to variability in the definition of giftedness.
