Cricket -- does that "mean" anything (other than the obvious) when there is such a big difference between the FSIQ and GAI?
I would hesitate to say anything for sure based solely on an IQ profile. Especially in your instance since your dd may have been sick, it may just have been an off day.
My dd is twice exceptional, however. It has become more obvious as she's gotten older (both that she is very gifted and that she has something else going on). She is HG and has an ADD diagnosis and possible dyslexia. When she was younger, she tended to look "bright," but neither significantly gifted nor LD to many people.
She, none the less, performs well above grade level in everything and is doing well in accelerated classes. She does have challenges, though, and doesn't perform on par with 99.9th percentile as I'd expect it.
I suspect that she is able to do as well as she does despite her other issues b/c she is very, very intelligent.
OTOH, my older dd is not 2e and she had a bit of a nutty profile on the WISC-IV as well when she as 7. Her FSIQ and GAI weren't as far apart mostly b/c she also bombed one piece of the perceptual reasoning index, which is part of the GAI and FSIQ, and b/c she did very well on the working memory index, which is only in the FSIQ not GAI so her rather low processing speed index didn't depress the FSIQ much below the GAI.
My oldest was uncooperative to some extent and had some major anxiety issues going at the point she was tested.
I mention the second one b/c there are times when you get really high #s combined with really low #s (my kiddo's ranged from 8-19+ within one index) and there is no 2e issue going on, just a kid being a kid.
