I didn't read this whole thread, but I'll add to polarbear's, that not all evaluators/psychologists seem to understand 2e or that they need to look for discrepancies. They focus on composite scores. Average range...no problem, parent needs to stop stressing. They might call a certain skill a "weakness" but not go any further than that, but many gifted kids with disabilities score average on standardized tests, because they are able to use advanced reasoning ability or other compensatory skills, and concerns are blown off, when there really still should be a concern if there are big gaps between scores, or the child's achievement isn't on par for what you'd expect given their cognitive ability.
