My son spends time with a psychologist every week for social skills. She knows him and doesn't see any cause for concern (she has ruled autism, for example) but she has cautioned that evidence of many learning disabilities only emerge once a child starts school. I imagine it's too early to tell but IF there is some other challenge we aren't aware of, does anything here provide a clue?
Curious--how did she reach the "rule-out" conclusion? Why is he specifically working on social skills?
Agree with Eco here. Many psychologists have never seen a child who is gifted+autistic, and they may wrongly assess a child's verbal strength as meaning the child cannot have autism.
I'd want a full evaluation by a neuropsychologist.
