Hi,
My son (11) has issues with school, down to level that I suspect trauma. So, we started testing so we can advocate for him at school and figure out what’s going on.
The school wants to put him in special ed, even though he mainly gets average As and Bs without putting much effort into learning.
My kid took WISC-V. I didn’t get detailed results. I was told that he is cognitively “unique”. His overall results were around 116. However, I was also told that he did the most of the subtests on an adult level, but got 1-2 low, and that the difference is significant.
He also took tests at occupational therapist and they excluded any sign of learning disabilities, saying he seems years ahead in thinking and that school failed him.
We were also told to consult neurologist and we did, but she wants to do a scan as the examination results were a bit off but not conclusive for a diagnosis.
He also has vision issues, the ophthalmologist concluded that it shouldn’t pose problems with learning, but we still have to visit strabismus specialist.
Psychiatrist suspected adhd. The attention test showed he is way above average on both visual and verbal attention tests.
As a mom, living with his father that is in top 1% of population regarding IQ, all I see is a bright kid with occasional brain farts - just like his dad.
Can anyone help me understand what are we looking at, what are possible diagnosis with all this in mind?
