I don't have any help but I do understand how you feel. Is he gifted? Is he not gifted? Sometimes I think he's exceptionally gifted and sometimes I think he's below gifted (sometimes below average). Most of the time, though, he's MG-HG. And, then there's that pesky asynchronous develepmont thing . . . this morning he's acting like he's 2 (he's 7). I'll repeat what others have said "go with your gut". And, if you do the testing and he turns out not to be gifted, well, then, so what? The world will continue, he'll continue to learn, you'll continue to love him, and he'll grow up knowing you did what you could for him.
ETA: I didn't mean to sound flippant. I know it's a sensitive and emotional subject. I think sometimes I let it consume me and it really doesn't matter all that much, as long as he and you are happy with him.
