As long as your child has what they need and are getting academic, social and emotional support above and beyond what they need, labels and testing are irrelevant.
Oh, that is frame-worthy. We are still coming to terms with what it means to be "PG" instead of MG or even HG. We've been more than a decade in letting go of what is "not possible," too. Sometimes those things that serve as niggling doubts (nahhhh.. couldn't be... and
yet...) are our only real clues to solving problems.
When we see problems, now, we've learned that it isn't always horses, but we ought to at least consider zebra causes as well because there
is no "rule of thumb" for development in a child this unusual. So sure, we can seek advice from others... but the bottom line is that
all PG children are their own singularities in some ways. When you've met one PG kid, you've met
one PG kid. KWIM?
Once that asynchrony gets just so big, the interplay between areas of strength and personality quirks becomes just as critical in figuring out "HUH??" moments as predicted developmental stages are in most children.
Boy, do I ever wish that I'd known that sooner.
