Yes, that is pretty much what I was expecting. I think the cognitive and achievement results are pretty consistent. It's just when you compare the individual achievement areas to the full scale IQ that they appear discrepant. But that's not really apples to apples.

His cognitive profile is consistent with not only his motor issues, but perceptual (visual) issues as well, as neither of the fluid reasoning subtests would be expected to be notably affected by pure motor delays.

Interesting that he did so well on picture memory, which is a sequential memory task that requires visual memory, but can be mediated by verbal memory, but not very well on sentence repetition, which is also a sequential memory task mediated by verbal memory, but without visual supports. I wonder if his motor issues affect his oral-motor skills, which might impact lengthier oral expression (not cognitive language, but physically formulating sentences in an efficient manner).
