What does high functioning ADHD look like in a child?

This is not a very common term, as we usually use high functioning with autism. With ADHD, we do have adults who are high functioning meaning they are doing well in their jobs and the impact of ADHD is minimised. In a child, it may refer to a child who is functioning well despite having ADHD. An example is an older child with mild ADHD and high IQ, who was identified early and received good support by parents and teachers and has been taught coping strategies to function well in school.
