As to your question as to whether you belong here, I'll go with 'yes' and welcome
! Neither of my girls are DYS, but we feel good fitting in here. My youngest has a somewhat similar profile on the WISC with a FSIQ of 130 and GAI of 148 and she also has ADD. She wasn't medicated during testing and actually never has been medicated. At 11, she's still under 60 lbs (she's just small genetically!) but we've not wanted to stunt her growth and she's highly averse to treating her ADD. I've given up on even fighting her on supplements which seem to help but it is such a huge fight that I'm tired.
Do you have achievement scores to submit with your ds' DYS application? My youngest has never hit the required scores on the few achievement tests she's taken for DYS so we haven't applied.
Your kiddo sounds like his GAI is high enough, though, that you might have good odds even without those achievement scores. I'm glad to hear that he's doing better at home. We, too, have found struggling with getting the needs of a HG 2e kid met in the school system to be a huge challenge. Gifted and in the box, high achiever seem to be synonomous in many schools' minds, unfortunately.
