I think just leaving your kid to compete normally is the best option. Don't skip grades, only put them in summer classes and advanced classes if the explicitly ask for it. If a kid actually is extremely intelligent, they should have no problem succeeding amongst their peers. If the additional work given to them isn't their idea, all you're doing is impeding their social life, and status. Don't run around telling them how amazing they are all the time. The creation of an ego starts early, and if your kid is to function happily for the rest of their lives, you want it to be a good one.
As an aside, calling a kid with ADHD neuro atypical is a bit much. I hope the kid doesn't know their parent uses that terminology about them. That could be crushing, or set up a crutch to use in justifying failure, or the perceived lazyness associated with ADHD.
