So would you test? And for what reasons? What will I be able to do with the test scores? I mean other than bang my head against the wall at Central Office or sheepishly back away from the fight, depending on the results. To appease my curiosity seems rather selfish.
My personal take on this is to test (as long as you can afford it). The basic reason is data for *you* - I don't see it so much as appeasing your curiosity as giving you information that will help you better understand your child. You might be able to use it directly to advocate for your ds at school or you might not (that's going to depend on your school district and school personnel).. but you will always be able to use it indirectly when you advocate because you'll have that better understanding of where your child's strengths are and how outside-the-box he really is (or isn't).
