All I can say is that I am SO frustrated.

The neuropsych basically said it is going to be nigh unto impossible to get an accurate IQ score for my son because of how "cloudy" things are. He said there are significant auditory processing issues that come into play and that he "over thought" his answers and ended up getting several wrong because of giving too detailed of an answer (how are green and red the same? Answer they wanted - both are colors. My son? Both are on the light spectrum, blah, blah, blah). But that answer is wrong on the IQ test. UGH.

So, according to this WISC-IV, the FSIQ is 92 - almost twenty points less than it was two years ago. He said he's sure the actual IQ is much higher but that we likely won't get it on paper - ever - to get my son qualified for gifted.

I am so downhearted tonight and discouraged about my son's experience next year of more textbooks and workbooks and all the things that go to his deficits instead of allowing him to excel at the things he's good at.
