Thanks for the information. Here are the breakdown. I'm curious if DS could be mistaken PG. I sat through the test, there was no lucky guess. He either knew the answers and answered them correctly, did not want to attempt, or did not know the answers.

Similarities 18 (did not want to attempt 2 simpler questions before the last question, but answered the last question correctly - did he hit the ceiling?)
Vocabulary 16
Information 18 (cannot answer last question)

Block Design 16
Matrix Reasoning 17
Picture Completion 16
GAI = 154

Digital Span 19 (answered all questions in the test correctly - hit the ceiling?)
Arithmetic 19 (answered all questions in the test correctly -hit the ceiling)

Coding 11
Symbol Search 14
FSIQ = Not interpretable

The psychologist had to do three additional subtests on a separate day because on the first test day, DS had a problem with his vision and did not want to attempt most of the questions when we did the first 10 tests. I did not know he had a problem until the psychologist pointed that out to me.

It is a hard call for me. The gifted teachers say they cannot handle his AS, because they have never met anyone like him in their 25 years of gifted education (50 students per intake). I'm just wondering how the autism/special needs teachers can handle him, if he is PG. If I send him to the special needs school, will they be telling me they cannot handle his PG because they would not have met anyone like him in their practice? Even if PG is one in 1000, it will be highly unlikely an autism class teacher would have met a child like him. That's why I wonder if the diagnosis of PG or AS could be a mistake.
