Good points, Val. I hope I am not inadvertently contributing to excessive test emphasis by being in a position to suggest interpretations. (Though we are among those families who have chosen not to pursue formal assessment.)
In general, I agree that any discussion benefits from greater nuance. Every child and family system is different, and has different options available to it, each of which will inevitably have trade-offs. The nature of exceptionality in a standardized system is that one will always be seeking the least-worst solution. The GT community, possibly even more than other parenting communities, ought to be aware that, as much as every success is worth celebrating, the solution may not generalize to other situations.
