I received my son's psych report today and was hoping for any further insight. He is 5y9m, bright but quirky, and has recently been through a psychological assessment for ASD at a local university centre. The assessors determined that he does not fit the criteria for an ASD diagnosis (not even close, apparently), but noted that on his cognitive assessment that his processing speed was low. They were fairly dismissive of this low subtest score in the verbal feedback, they thought that he didn't enjoy this part of the test/was perfectionist and thought the low score reflected that. They suggested we should retest (cognitive) in 1-2 years to see if the processing score was still low. However I didn't realise quite how low it was until I got the report today, now I'm concerned.
They used the WPPSI - III which I understand has been superceded, so his scores may be inflated. These are the results we were given, they only included percentiles, not actual scores:
Information: 91
Vocabulary: 99
Word reasoning: 95
Block design: 84
Matrix reasoning: 99
Picture concepts: 98
Coding: 16 (eek)
Composites:
Verbal: 99
Performance: 99
FSIQ: 98
Can anyone shed any light on this type of scatter? Thanks in advance!
