I have not told ds12 is IQ for a couple of reasons. A single score might very well negate my telling him he can continue to "grow" his brain by suggesting there's significant meaning to one score on one given day. The other reason is that because I suspect he hit ceilings on three of his subtests, his score may be underestimated. The last reason is that I fear too much focus on a number might invite comparisons in his mind, and when he focuses on that rather than the process of learning he runs the risk of having a fixed mindset.
I have told him, however, he is a DYS, and he understands to a certain extent, what that means.
