Abstract
Objective: We aimed to compare the specific learning disability (SLD) profiles, psychiatric comorbidity and socio demographic structures of children with very superior intelligence (VSI) (I.Q.>130); children with very superior intelligence diagnosed with SLD (G/LD) and children with dull-normal intelligence (DI/LD) (I.Q.: 80-89) diagnosed with SLD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 97 cases in Ankara University School of Medicine Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry between 2013 and 2014. SLD Test Battery and WISC-R were administered to the children. Children who had learning disabilities (problems in reading, writing, math) and who were eligible for the study criteria, were included in the study. Results: Psychiatric comorbidity in DI/LD group (81%) was significantly higher than psychiatric comorbidities in other groups (x2=7.08 p=0.03). Most common psychiatric comorbidity among the groups was attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. G/ LD group was more successful in Gesell Figures subtest than DI/LD group (z= -5.26, p<0.05). DI/LD group had higher dictation error scores than G/LD group (z= -3.36, p=0,01). Conclusion: Results of our study supports the theory of compensation of SLD-related weaknesses by giftedness-related strengths called as ‘masking’ condition and ‘twice-exceptionality view’ in the literature.
