I have 125 IQ, always got best scores from high school on despite never listening (attention span too short kek) and got the highest evaluation for my thesis. Still nobody irl would think I'm intelligent except for my professors and nerdy classmates. Normies only consider those that are eloquent, react quickly and give witty responses high IQ. Unfortunately people with ADHD tend to react slow (sluggish cognitive tempo) because they always have countless racing thoughts + background music in their mind. It's very common for ADHDcels to look back on conversations they had and come up with a better response - hours later. That's why most normies who have interacted with me spontaneously irl probably think I'm retarded, kek. Even nowadays I don't know what to say and only fumble "yeah..." "ok..." when someone throws a small talk at me for which I have not prepared a script.
Also, what's the point of having high IQ if you don't work in the academics - one of the few fields where being intelligent earns you respect? Unlike autists, ADHDcels can have multiples passionate hyperfixations but they don't have the patience to go deeper in any of them. There are so many autistic scientists but none has ADHD as far as I know.
At this point I'd rather have autism tbh ngl
