Students with gifted behavior may present similar traits to those typical of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), causing misdiagnosis. However, the coexistence of these phenomena is also possible. The study aimed to identify and characterize scientific productions that address the association between giftedness and ADHD. In order to achieve this, five databases were consulted: Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Coordination of Superior Level Staff Improvement (CAPES) journals website, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) journals website, Latin American and Caribbean Literature (LILACS) and the Education Resources Information Center database. The descriptors gifted and ADHD, hyperactivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were used in English, and “high skills”, “giftedness”, “talent”, “endowment” and “precocity” were also used along with the descriptors “ADHD”, “Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder” and “hyperactivity”. Thus, 33 productions were located. The categorization and analysis of the works revealed the existence of differences in the functioning of students with gifted behavior when associated with ADHD, which affect educational, socioemotional aspects and require specific intervention. Further investigations on this topic are necessary to avoid diagnostic errors.

Keywords : giftedness; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; twice-exceptionality.
