I'm glad to hear that they want to test further and try and tease that out. The further tests may reveal a 'big suprise' or them might be 'equivical.' It can sometimes take years to get a picture of what is going on.
There isn't a whole lot to do while you wait, which may be emotionally difficult. One thing you can do is to start keeping a journal of what you are learning. Another thing that might be helpful is to interview members of both sides of the family asking if there have been members who had any kind of mismatch between 'how bright they seemed' or 'how much potential they seemed to have' and smaller than expected achievment or larger than expected efforts to get good achievment.
Sometimes the most amazing things turn up.

Does this confirm your fears/suspicions? Remember that he is the same wonderful kid he always was. The numbers don't change him in any way, and may actually be a fluke.
