My thinking--mostly gained from reading here on this forum--is that if you see high IQ scores but significantly lower achievement testing and/or performance in schools, you may well be looking at an LD.

In that sort of situation, looking at a child's behaviors may not clarify matters for you at all, but may actually confuse you a whole lot because the behaviors may look mostly like an ND child, but with weird flashes of smarts that make you question your sanity far more than you do with a full-on HG+ child.

So the short answer is IQ and some sort of way of looking at achievement.
