Hello,

My 2e DS who recently became a DYS due to criteria changes and had a complete neuropysch evaluation was found to be ADD inattentive instead of ASD and provisionaly diagnosed with Dysgraphia, and possibly CAPD. I'm having a hard time understanding the test results but the particularly confused about a note made by doctor regarding the Wisconsin card sorting test. "DS performs at top 5% to 10% in academic achievement, but actually has trouble with effective learning of new concepts, one aspect involved in executive functioning." I believe she is referring to "trials to complete 1st category" 27 standard score, 11-16 percentile.
Does this test really capture learning new concepts difficulties? Where would it impact him academically? For example, I do see that it takes him longer to grasp abstract concepts, where my DD can do the balance benders pages in her sleep. TIA!
