If you have an above average Intelligence, the mechanisms you develop can lead to excelling in many areas. But it comes at great costs and not everyone is this way. It also depends how bad you've got it.

If you are smart, you manage it better and people perceive you as smart.

Uh... Duh? You basically said "if smart, smart".

Fair enough :D

The point is, if you're lacking in the intelligence department, then you gain nothing from ADHD and are perceived as annoying and that's it. If you're intelligent, you're at least likely to become something of a jack of all trades.
