DeeDee - my thoughts exactly. She said that although he didn't score on the ADOS, the characteristics he showed were the same as an Aspergers child, so in her professional opinion, she felt he was more than likely Aspergers - but extremely high functioning, and with additional issues she can't place. All those "characteristics" that she used to identify him were also characteristics of gifted kids.
Shari - Oh no! I didn't need negative feedback on GDC. We chose them because we already had plane tix to Denver for Spring Break (our first snowcation for the kids)....AZ just wouldn't be financially possible at this time. Inflated scores are ok, I'm not needing to know an exact number, just to see if he crosses the gifted/PG line (which he is pretty darned close to on the Slosson) and if they see any incidence of Aspergers. That's the main thing I need to rule out - I already know he's gifted, but I have to know if it's more than just that.
aculady - I doubt it. She knew he had a high IQ but he hadn't been tested for giftedness at the time of his ASD testing. He was tested for ASD in October, and had the GT testing in December. I don't think we ever notified her of the results - he's only been back a few times to check in.
