Thankyou all for your kind words. As I said, it's just so nice to have a place like this to share.

I'll submit his scores to a Talent Search, but as we're not in the US it's a matter of sitting the test independently & then forwarding a copy of the report. I'm hoping the Talent Search info will arm me with something his school will take note of.

ebeth - thanks for sharing your experience. I can see the same sort of catharsis happening with my son. Perhaps not overnight, but the signs are there. Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
Cassandra
