A M tuba, I don't have time for a full response at the moment, but with the discrepancy your ds has in his scores I would suggest that rather than worrying about the school and the gifted program at the moment, it would be a good idea to seek a private neuropsych eval to help you better understand what's driving the disrepancies. It *might* be ADHD, but it could also be other things. I'll try to stop back in later this afternoon as I have some other comments re what happened with our ds who has a similar discrepancy and was having difficulty with written expression at the same grade/age. For our ds, it *wasn't* ADHD, but it did look like ADHD.
Best wishes,
