My 'IQ' hid my ADHD, because until highschool I got by without studying or paying attention or doing homework. I'd ace the tests, and it was enough to pass. In highschool, I needed to study or at least pay attention and didn't. Teachers said I was smart, but lazy. I think its a pretty common situation. Nevermind that some people are independent learners, and the public education system is ill suited to this style of learning.

> I think its a pretty common situation. Yes. That sort of story is quite common even among people who don't have ADHD. If you are in 8th grade, and you are capable of learning all the material without doing any homework, then it is just not rational to do homework.
