Awalk, I almost think you are writing my son. My DS8 is EXACTLY like your son. After a long time consideration and observation, and read a lot of information from this board, this month I finally had my son evaluated by a psychologist. He had IQ and achievement test already. Next week he will have OT test than we will wait for the report. That doctor's specialty is 2e kids so I don't have to worry misdiagnosis. My son is bright but he tried to avoid any work involved writing. He is 3rd grade now so there are lots of writing work. His teacher and I both so frustrated to have him finished his work. I cannot give you advice now because I am waiting for the result. I just want to let you know you are not alone. If you want to seek professional help, you have to find someone has experience with gifted children.
