"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."
Oh no! My DD had a similar problem with listing different colors: my DD "magenta, fuscia, burnt umber, cerillion etc" when they wanted: "light blue, blue, dark blue"
How old is he? It took us a month to get the FSIQ and other scores after the testing so I wonder at how they got them so quickly.
Can you address the auditory processing issues and teach him /explain some of the over-thinking concepts and retest?
Way back when my DD was testing for the GT program, they did a lot more than just an IQ test, they talked with her and really looked at how deep she was, not just check-box answers. She was 4.5 yrs old and understood math but didn't know what "=" meant so she added "11" to every question and although she got every single one wrong they figured out what she did and she got in anyway.
I would disregard these results, it's obvious your son is operating way beyond the norms and you and the tester both know it. Can you talk to the school about this?
I am so sorry for the disappointing results, I hope you canfind another way.
