This is where an accurate diagnosis from someone who really gets 2E kids is crucial, right? B/c if this is a non-2E gifted introvert, vs. a gifted kid on the spectrum, the approach would be different, right?
Absolutely. And mountainmom, I think Mum3 and I both felt from reading your earlier posts that you have possibly got more 2E going on than you have diagnoses for.
In your shoes, I would probably ask the school district to evaluate, but also pursue private diagnostic work in parallel with that, so that you get reliable answers from a private professional that can then be applied to the conversation about appropriate education.
I am not against HSing 2Es, btw, I just don't think it is always the clear right choice. In any case, better to know what you are dealing with in order to consider how to proceed.
