AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.
I *think* that is a load of bs or misunderstanding on the part of the psycholgist. but then again, maybe I am not getting what is meant by 'asd'/autism spectrum disorder, that seems kind of broad... does this mean Asperger's?
Here is the book I was referred to and I think it is an excellent well grounded book.
Yes these second 'E's will mess with doing well on an iq test, but it doesn't mean a child with ASD can't be extremely smart, in fact gifted.
