Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help regarding the possibility of my son potentially being 2E. We never considered him to be gifted; his teacher also explicitly informed us that he was in no way gifted. I had concerns re dyslexia - he exhibits several symptoms (letter reversals and substitutions, misspells own surname, skips and substitutes words when reading and is continually rubbing his eyes), additionally dh is dyslexic - but the school inform me he is not behind enough for this to be the case. I've done quite a lot of reading re stealth dyslexia and think it is a possibility. We've seen a developmental optom and ds has specs for reading. I though he would have outgrown most of these literacy issues by now - he will be 8 in April. I was just after any insight on these scores - specifically any possible reasons for the discrepancy in subtest scores. He is pretty laid back really, very sensitive emotionally, but does not have issues with anxiety or perfectionism. He does, however, suffer from frustration and loves to read but gives up saying his eyes hurt and the print is too difficult after a few pages. I just want to help him and try and figure out how to best help him at school. He is above average in math and average in literature. His teacher just views him as mr average with occasional sparks of being 'bright', but extremely inconsistent in his writing and comprehension ability.
