Hello, I am interested in your thoughts on my DS7s WISC scores. I have been reading the forum for a few months and I know that some of you have kids with lower WM and PS. My son definitely fits into this category.

PR 137 (99%)
WM 110 (75%)
PS 97 (42%)
FSIQ 136 (96%)
Subtests

Similarities 16
Digit Span 11

The psychologist did not calculate GAI, but the school did and told me it was 99.6%. I looked it up on line and it appears to me that the GAI is 140.
The psych also said that his attention was wandering by the end of the test and she thought when he is older he would score higher. She didn't do a formal ADHD assessment, but he probably has a touch of it. His teachers say his attention at school is fine.
They also did the WASI: IQ 142 (99.7%).
Weschler Achievement, all within one or two years of grade level except for Oral Reading Fluency 99%, grade equiv 5.4; and Oral Reading Rate >99.9%, grade equiv 7.7.
Woodcock Johnson Reading Mastery Test 95%, grade equiv 4.0.
There are a few other tests in the report, but this is getting pretty long so I won't list them.
The reason that we had him tested is that he was having a horrible year in 1st. He was miserable and we didn't know what was going on with him. His writing is a big problem, and we have him in a "handwriting group" with an OT. He is a good reader, indifferent in math. My older daughter who has a GAI around 130 was reading at higher levels than my son is at the same age. He tells me that school is both "boring" and "difficult". I asked him how school could be both and he said, "It just is." His behavior and mood have improved this school year, but he is a bit of a tortured soul. He is a negative thinker and as stubborn as they come. He is also funny, sweet and thoughtful. Any thoughts or insights are welcome. I worry about him and he is somewhat of a mystery to me. Sorry so long and thanks.
