Grinity,
Would you travel (a long distance) for an evaluation by one of the experts based on the Ruf Levels 3/4 if school IQ testing/screening does not show HG/PG numbers? My GD 5 yrs, 10 mos is going to be evaluated at school (they suspect Asperger's - we're skeptical) and as part of the evaluation will be giving her an IQ test. They would not say what test so I'm not sure if it will even be a "true IQ test" or just a "screener". If because of her age (just under 6) or her lack of cooperation due to being at school (bad experiences), or a possible 2E issue affecting the areas requiring concentration, she were to score as "only MG", would it be worth it to spend the $$ to get an opinion from an expert based on meeting almost all of Level 3 and some of Level 4? Sorry to butt in on the original post, but your answer made me wonder how to look at this. Of course, I'm just speculating about the results at this point.
It's my belief that it is even more important to travel in exactly this situation. It's so easy for the less experienced testers to say - 'Congratulations, you have an optimally gifted child' and break out the champagne, while you are stuck still wondering about overlooked 2E issues and PG issues.
That's what my life experience tells me.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
