Thank you for your reply. My son seems to get hyped up like you said whenever we're at a doc apt. It must make him really nervous. The more I've read about ADHD the more I do see it at home. He just does not display much of the traits at school thus far. I'm guessing he's exhausted from holding it all in by the time he gets home!
Here are his full results which are very scattered as the doc said. They said his processing speed was very impaired making anything timed inaccurate.
WISC 4:
Verbal: 106 Percentile: 66.0 (yikes)
Perceptual Reasoning: 121 percentile: 92.
Working Memory: 99 Percentile: 47. (again, yikes)
Processing Speed: 80 Percentile: 9 (yowza!)
Full Scale: 105
GAI: 116
If you know my son at all you know that this is in no way his potential. AT ALL. I'm not saying this to be mamabear that thinks my son is smart. I'm saying this b/c I know my son. He is extremely smart in an outside the box kind of way. Wacky smart!
Here are subtest scores:
Verbal
Similarities: 13
Vocab: 12
Comprehension: 9
Non Verbal:
Block Design: 9 (said this was timed, therefore he had trouble)
Picture Concepts: 13
Matrix Reasoning: 18
Digit Span: 12
Letter-Number Sequencing: 8
Coding: 5
Symbol Search: 8
So, really scattered. Is there a chance he's still gifted and ADHD hindered it altogether or am I way off in thinking he's capable of a lot more than tests show?
