Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Attention testing

It depends on which kid and which med. This is very, very particular work.

My DD did better on DSB than DSF.

I have following this thread with interest because doing better on engaging tasks and not so much on the repetitive drudgery is classic DD. In fact, the WISC-IV wrote it up in her report that her read on DD's profile was that she needed to be challenged to do her best.

Our dd just took some testing like this, twice about 30 days apart because the dr was surprised to see such a low score first time.

She moaned so much and even screamed a bit about NOT TAKING that super boring test again, I think it really was a bit painful for her! She finally got sort of ok with taking it again...

I think the second test came out a lot better; I guess maybe we or the dr had impressed on her this test might matter just a bit, lol. No actual scores or final feedback from dr as yet, so we'll see. Dd has the classic gifted child trait of hyper-focus on her own interests and those things she's not interested in? Boneless cat syndrome. Sigh.
