My first post...just joined the community. What a coincidence as I have just been doing research myself on this very topic...our DS9 is 2E. At age 6, as part of a diagnostic process for ADHD, he scored a 127FSIQ. He was in fact diagnosed and has been on Focalin. We had him re-tested 1 yr ago at age 8, he was still on medication, but did not take medication the day of the testing. His FSIQ score at that time was 136. The second test was administered to confirm the ADHD diagnosis, not for being gifted, hence he was not on medication that day.
A side note, we just got his results on the ACT Explore exam designed for the 8th grade, he took it as a fourth grader...his composite score was 20. Based on this, we are now considering re-testing for IQ while on meds...
Most everything I have read elsewhere indicates a possible 5-10 point difference when not on medication
Added later...sorry for the duplicate post...not aware of how long the 'delay' was (4hrs?)
