Just wanted to add that I had my daughter tested as I was advised to by her previous school which identified her as possibly G/T when she was in Prep. It took me three years from that time until I finally had the testing done. I had the test done as her marks started slipping and I worried that she might have a LD.
The Psychologist hinted that she shows slight characteristics of ASpergers but nothing extreme. I did feel that she didn't perform as well on the WISC test as I would have expected as she had only had about 5-6 hours sleep. Also she is a perfetionist and also on the anxious side so that may have impacted on her results. Having said that I accept that she probably isn't gifted, (though giftedness is on both sides on the family)as her previous school thought, but is bright and should be doing well in school. This is what the psychologist told me. I met with her teacher and principal who as I said didn't give her results on the test the time of day. I feel frustrated by this as she seems to be defintely working above average in English at least yet isn't getting good grades at school anymore.
Thanks for any replies or insight.
