To me as an absolute amateur, it looks like he is bright, but is having problems with memory and motor skills. But knowing the name of the test you should be able to find some better info.

Looks like it's a very common pattern in ASD as well as in gifted kids.


Thanks I will take a look, I am so confused at the moment so many things have been mentioned...aspergers being one but the EP(ASD specialist) ruled this out as my son didn't fit the triad of impairments(thats what I think she called it) and also she said that he was below low average for emotional literacy if that means anything to you?
