The 99th percentile refers to being at or above the 99th percentile of a certain population in a specific measure or assessment. WMI (Working Memory Index) is often used in the context of cognitive assessments.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that requires a proper diagnosis by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist or a psychologist. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, history, and functioning in various areas of life.
Having a high WMI or scoring in the 99th percentile on a particular cognitive test does not necessarily negate the possibility of having ADHD. Cognitive abilities and diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders are distinct and can coexist in some cases. It is essential to consider a variety of factors when making a diagnosis, and it should always be done by a trained professional.
If you have concerns about your ADHD diagnosis or your cognitive assessment results, I encourage you to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can provide you with the appropriate guidance, interpretation, and potential further assessments if needed.
