spiritedmama,
Here's another late bloomer to add to the list.
My DS9 scored 78 on the Bayley Scales Of Infant Development IQ test when he was 2.9. (He was completely non-verbal back then. He started talking when he was around 4.) At 5.1, his FSIQ on WPPSI was 124. (Verbal IQ 106/ Performance IQ 131) Then at 8.6, his scores on both IQ (WISC-IV) and achievement(WJ III) were >99.9. He was accepted into DYS program recently.
He was also qualified for the Award Ceremonies (CTY Talent Search) for both 2nd and 3rd grade years, and for 3rd grade, earned "Top In the Country Award" for his Math by scoring 100%.
At school, he skipped 1st grade, and this year in 4th grade, he is taking Algebra class with some advanced 7th/8th graders.
So, you never know.
