We're not yet applying for DYS. I think our DS might qualify when you consider the loose "working 2, 3, or 4 years above chronological age" but we do not yet have supporting tests. We are planning a future test and depending on what we learn, we may apply for DYS. We could use that advocacy help.

So that being said, I am curious about how the section on references has been dealt with by others that have applied. Our problem has been that there have been very, very few people that have supported what we suspect or know (that DS is pretty far outside the norms). His psych noted it, but the references specifically asks for people that have not tested the child. The only other person that I can reference is a preschool teacher a year and half ago that was blow away by something DS did. Other than that, we have a lot of skeptics. What did you do? How did you handle this part of the application?

Just curious. Thanks.
