What do the test scores have to do with Aspergers? Did the evaluator explain? My understanding is that they shouldn't have anything to do with the diagnosis. There's nothing about that in the DSM - at least not in the old one (anyone know when the DSM V goes into effect?). Could it be that something about the variation provides indication of one of the symptoms?? I still find that very hard to believe but I'm curious about whether there's a reasonable connection/explanation.
In my very non-expert view, if he doesn't have significant social impairment (and even if he did), I'd be on the lookout for some sort of LD, though I'm not sure what, if any, those scores would indicate. Was there a great deal of variation in the subtest scores?
Was the tester a psych?
The GAI at 130 indicates giftedness. I just don't know enough to say more about the disparity. I hope someone who does pipes in here
(Thinking some more, I had thought that the GAI could not be calculated when there was that much of a difference between VCI and PRI, but maybe I have that mixed up.)
