He was only tested for giftedness (ability). I needed concrete evidence I can bring back to the school if/when I need it. Last year, advocating was a mess and when I asked for early GATE testing he did not meet the criteria.

I asked the psych if I need to consider looking into LD. He said it's up to us. He is very young and it's hard to tell. There is also that financial aspect to consider. We had just done the testing out of pocket.

Someone did brought up if it could be ADHD. I'm pretty sure my husband has ADHD but he was never officially diagnosed. I do see a lot of husband's traits in our son. I know if he does have ADHD inattentive type that would explain executive functioning issues. My husband does have executive functioning issues.
