Hi all, I'm a 22 y/o senior in college with ADHD and Executive Functions Disorder. I just got my WAIS-IV back and my scores were all over the place and I don't know what to think of it.

The Perceptual Reasoning in particular is confusing. Half of the skills are 16th percentile, the other are 98th percentile. I could not figure out how to visualize and rotate the puzzles, but the MR and FW tests were easy because I just had to analyze them.
The neuropsych said I'm "gifted" in abstract-conceptual, hypothetical-practical, and logical-analytical reasoning but I have serious problems with attention and breaking down assignments into large parts. She didn't think I had Nonverbal Learning Disorder because I could understand idioms, figures of speech, metaphors, etc. well. Anyone have an idea?
