    Hi I'm new to this forum. My DS8 just got results back from his iq testing. His neuropsychologist said it will take several weeks to write the report. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone had their take on it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome!

    Your DC has excellent scores. These are DYS-eligible scores, FWIW. There are a couple of lower scores (all at least average), but their meaning will depend on context, such as the presence or absence of IRL concerns.

    Thanks for the reply. Any idea what the big score ranges could imply? Just developing asynchronously? Or is this a normal span seen in some kids?

    The magnitude of the index score differences is fairly low incidence in the general population, and somewhat less so in the GT population. It could be any of a number of causes, (including asynchrony) some of which have no serious deleterious impacts on life. As I said previously, if you have no IRL concerns, I wouldn't worry about it.

    He is 2E so the variations in scores does explain the things we see daily. Thanks again for you input.
