Boredom, not ADHD

PotomacBob ๐Ÿšซ

I read this story some time ago - meaning years. Unsure how many years.
In the story, the main character is a male in, I think, high school, and is believed to have ADHD. They prescribe some drug to treat it. Somehow, he takes one or more academic tests that show he does not have ADHD, but was bored to death in class. IIRC, the tests allow him to be moved up a grade in school.
The scenes could have been minor scenes in a long story, or could have been the main thrust. I do not recall which.
This could have been a COA story or maybe a DoOver. I'm pretty sure it was on SOL since I rarely read online stories anywhere else.
I've used SOL searches for ADHD, for COA, for boredom. There were hundreds of matches and none of the story descriptions seem to match the story I remember
Anybody else remembersuch a story?

I have my doubts.
In that story, Alex has difficulties staying awake and goes in for all kinds of tests. Eventually they discover something along the lines of a benign tumour and remove it. After that he's bored out of his mind at school, but sits there at the back reading increasingly advanced material while following the lessons with a small part of his brain. When called to answer questions he always comes up with the correct answer.
They think of ADHD for a while but decide not to drug him because he is obviously doing ok with it. He dumps HS for College years before he was supposed to do, and I think he moved straight to postgraduate studies and original research there.
A very good story (as ever, imho) but it diverges from the half-remembered plot by a bit too much.

Bored, parents have stopped him from testing out. They know he is smart, no drugs, so less likely to be the story you

Yep. I'm re-reading it now and you are correct.

Semi-helpful answer.

I THINK that it is on (still on) this site. I THINK that I recently read it. Probably after a LOST STORY question and suggestion. I have no clue as to the name or author though.
