I'm new here too. Your son sounds similar to mine. My son is 7 and was recently put into our school district's "Highly Gifted Program". He hasn't started it yet, but it sounds like it offers after school social groups, which he needs.
My son scored 97 on the Processing Speed and 110 on Working Memory, which is quite a bit below his other scores.
My son's main problem is that he is very high strung, he has a hard time making friends. He over reacts to things like stubbing his toe... you would think his toe had been cut off. He does not like to write at all. He is overly sensitive to smells. We are taking him for an OT evaluation next week.
I have been really worried about my son since he was a toddler. I'm afraid he has a hard life ahead of him. He is also a very negative thinker, one of his bigger issues.
I can relate. You've described my ds exactly. Right down to the pain intolerance and negative thinking. He's made some progress in positive thinking
but it's a thing he'll need to work on for a while--maybe his whole life.
