I've come across a similar issue. Although my scores were both high in the comprehension area and word attack, my IQ was average and the visual part was very low. About the Asperger's remark on one of your other posts: there are kids that I know in my class who scored extremely poor on comprehension, yet are probably highly gifted. It seems puzzling, but it makes perfect sense that you could be poor at comprehending the meaning of the passage, but you are find with the word. I hope this helps any, Dottie!
