When I pressed the issue with the neuro psych, she was firm and told me that she sees a lot of kids, been doing this a long time, and that my son is a typical gifted kid.
Hmm. I had a psych say the same thing to me when I first had DS evaluated. I watched the eval (WISC IV) and it seemed really obvious to me from watching that something was wrong with the way he was seeing or the way he was processing visual information. Psych said firmly dismissed my concerns and told me DS "just couldn't see things from other's perspective" and she put that in the report (something that if you knew my son at all you would no was REALLY Really not true - he is exceedingly perceptive to other's feelings and emotions, very empathetic, etc.). When I pressed the issue, psych said "I have been doing this 20 years..." blah, blah. I said "well you may have been doing this 20 years but you've only been evaluating my son for about 20 minutes." I took him to a developmental optometrist anyway and it turned out he does have a vision problem (intermittent convergent strabismus). He also has dysgraphia. Neither was picked up by that psych.
