I agree with Austin. That comment is very telling. Based on your descriptions you wouldn't be out of your mind to conceive that he is HG, or PG.

He seems very socially aware, and that comment troubles me. I don't think it's indicative of any pressing distress, per se, but maybe he already knows something is up and is attempting to make sense of it. Better advice than what test to take, is to make sure you have him evaluated by a specialist that has experience with HG/PG kids. You should tell that person everything you just posted about your son here.

I am somewhat reluctant to do any testing at all...because I don't really want him labelled or classified by a number....

If you get the right specialist that won't happen. You'll get a number, but that's the tip, you'll get so much more........

Both my children have a number. Neither has been or will be classified by it, that's totally within my realm of influence, yours too.
