Hi Dottie
Yes the ability/achievement is huge. the psych seemed quite worried in person but the report does not really diagnose as I guess psych's don't do that. She mentioned that we may wish to seek further diagnosis. I had thought of dyslexia - funny thing is that i have for years wondered about that. he still does occasionally reverse letters and things and he is over 8 now. i also noticed the verbal and how everything was 14 and over. To me this seems his big strength. Probably what i haven't said is that he is a class clown [actually one older kid told him he was 'school clown'], extremely funny to both kids and adults (quite adult in his humour and understands adult concepts and jokes well), surprisingly quick on the spot humour too, fantastic negotiator and never gives up, is showing talent in drama as well. Does the latter make sense to you with this profile?
thanks so much for your insightful comments Dottie!
