Thought I'd start a separate thread because the portfolio question made me think of another question
I am not sure whether my DS12 is an appropriate candidate for DYS or not. He has the IQ but not the achievement scores, so I am putting together a portfolio, but I truly don't know whether he fits the PG category or not.
He had a big discrepancy on his WISC-IV test (71 points between VCI and PSI) so there may be LD issues we need to follow up on. But more generally it's hard to tell whether he is a PG kid with a processing speed issue or a MG kid whose FSIQ and achievement tests are pretty closely aligned (his GAI is 21 points higher than his FSIQ).
I don't know any other kids like him - he stands out even among other gifted kids we know - but not knowing any other PG kids his age means I don't know what PG would normally look like. If anyone could share how PGness in a 12 year old would manifest itself I would be very grateful!
