    Yes, we have always homeschooled. I really wish we could afford for him to take an IQ test, but we can't.

    Thanks for everyone's support!! Really appreciated!

    Yeah, Tor'sMama, it's expensive to have an IQ test. I don't feel that my son's IQ test was accurate anyway because he was undiagnosed ADHD/some ASD issues when tested. Homeschooling is a great option for gifted kids!

    Tor'sMama,

    I don't want to get your hopes up unnecessarily but my DW just told me that we got a 70% reimbursement from our insurance company.

    Apparently, the tester gave us a receipt with a diagnosis code and when DW submitted it she got money from them.

    In bed now but will try to get the paperwork dug up over the next couple of days and I will let you know what the code was...

    I think that Flex Spending Account dollars can also be used for Psychological Testing (including IQ testing).

    Oh, congratulations!! It's always so exciting to have some proof, even if it's just for yourself. And good job to your son, too!

    Interesting! My son is on state medicaid though so I highly doubt they'd apprive anything, lol.

    Actually, this may not be true. At work (a public school), we have far better success getting services for kids on medicaid than private insurance. Mostly, we try to connect children to therapeutic and wrap-around services, but I would not be surprised if the same thing applies to psych/neuropsych evals, as it has come up with psychiatric evals.

    Yeah! So happy for you and yours. It is great for now and for the future - wonderful news.

    You expressed it so beautifully, like you are always keeping a little secret, because you really can't share everything; it is such an interesting, ongoing conundrum.
