Thanks so much for responding. Our family feels so alone dealing with this. To answer your questions...

- My son is 14, but the test was done when he was 10. We still haven't found anyone to help us interpret them in a way that is useful in helping him.

- You are exactly correct about the inability to express his self verbally and being anxious and frustrated as a result.

- He has never really played with lego or building toys. However, his computer hardware and software knowledge and abilities are exceptional. He is also good with music, and math.

- He was in a depressed state when he took the test.

- He has two younger siblings, but no one else in the family has had these tests done, and no one else has trouble like him.

- Progress with his anxiety and depression has gone backward and we feel that we are back at square one. The ADD portion is actually a recent diagnosis (3 months ago) and we thought we found the missing piece to the puzzle and the medication really improved some of the symptoms greatly. Unfortunately he recently became more depressed and we had to up his anti-depressant medication all of which landed him in the hospital due to persistent thoughts of self harm. He sleeps so excessively that since being released from the hospital he has only been able to attend his last two classes of the day each day.

- He is super sensitive to medication changes so the doctors took him off his ADD medication and his anti-depressant and they are now starting over by giving him a low dose of a new anti-depressant and it will be months until they try adding ADD medication again.


- We finally have the attention of the school psychologist, but she is very busy, so we have no answers (at least not yet).

- His regular Psychiatrist and Psychologist do not seem to have any interest in his WISC scores, but the new school psychologist does, and that is why I am busy trying to find more information again 4 years later.

I have one other question. Is anyone ever considered gifted when they only have a gifted score in the PRI portion of the WISC iv?
