Thank you Portia and Polarbear. I am so appreciative of the advice and support on these forums.
GDC suggested that I read the Mislabeled Child. I read the chapters on SPD, CAPD, ADHD and Dysgraphia. None of them really seemed to fit my son. The only chapter that seemed a match was the last chapter on problems gifted kids face due to their giftedness. Maybe I am in denial but I don't think so.
What if I reverse engineered this - did the testing and then based on the results I could chase down the 2E issues? My reason for testing is not to get him into a program but to understand him so I can meet his needs now and in the future by ferreting out his exceptionalities. He does have the vision issue and maybe touches of all of the above but not even close to what they describe in the book.
Is this crazy - to test first in an attempt to understand exceptionalities? His first testing was done by a local psych who did not impress me or GDC.
