Hi, Taminy! I waited a long time to get IQ testing for my son because I was worried that the score wouldn't accurately reflect his abilities since he's got ADHD-like issues and I worried testers would bias themselves/get frustrated with him and we'd be stuck with that score.
When we moved to our current city, however, we got a recommendation for a psychologist who not only specializes in working with/testing gifted kids, but also twice-exceptional gifted kids. Long story short(er): DS was tested at 8 years 10 months. He hit the ceiling in three areas, but his GAI figured out to 153, which I feel like is about right. 10.5 is much older in terms of the WISC-IV ceilings, though I don't know if extended norms would help. Maybe talking to someone who administers tests with higher ceilings or that are designed for adults would be helpful? Good luck -- I really feel your pain. The whole school thing can be such an exercise in frustration!
