I have been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome when I was 8, and now at the age of 13, am still living with it (as most of you may know, you can't really get rid of it). I recently became very interested in my IQ, so I took an IQ test (one of the online ones, I know it's probably not as accurate), and to my surprise, my IQ was only 122 (Weschler Scale). However, I realized that, as I was taking the test, I did have trouble focusing, and even now as I write this, I have been stopped at least seven times due to an uncontrollable tic. Can Tourette's Syndrome (or ADD, or OCD) affect an IQ test score? Is it possible that my actual IQ is higher?
