It's been told to me that there are studies done of students with high IQ and ADHD, who despite their high IQ struggle with job and academic performance. I'm out to find examples of those with ADD/ADHD and high IQ who have succeeded and are succeeding. Help me out: any articles, examples of people you know, or studies would be great.

Not sure if I have ADD, but I have extremely low focus, concentration and procrastinate and maintained a 4.4 GPA in high school and a 3.4 in college so far.
