Neuropsychological assessment, Diagnosis, Late identificationAbstract
The aim of this article was to report a case of neuropsychological assessment conducted with an adult that resulted in the diagnosis of twice exceptionality related to the presence of Giftedness (AH/SD) and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The evaluation included seven sessions consisting of the administration of psychological and neuropsychological instruments, together with clinical-qualitative observations. The theoretical support for the service was the model of “Functional competences in clinical neuropsychology”. The data were grouped into assessed neurocognitive skills, namely: intelligence, executive functions called “cold” / cognitive, school skills and socioemotional skills. In general, the results showed high values of Intellectual Quotient, but deficits in executive functions and in socio-emotional skills. The profile presented by the patient was discussed according to the literature in the area, and, consequently, in a way that identified him with double exceptionality between AH/SD and ADHD. Discussions about late identification of the condition are also presented, as well as suggestions for the appropriate support for your specific needs.
