He needs this test - Woodcock-Johnson Test of Achievement-III (WJ-III Ach)
to compare what use he has been able to make of his education so far.

He is certainly gifted, and really very close to qualifying for YSP on his VCI. If there is a pediatrician or other professional in town who 'thinks everyone has ADHD' then take your son to that one and at least try a few stimulant medications and observe. I don't really think he has any diagnosis that has been developed so far, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't really enjoy and benefit from having all his gears turning at about the same speed. Your son has tremendous bottlenecks and without medicine and a private tutor is truly an 'average kid' in a lot of ways. And then there is his reading and vocab - Not Not not average.

His profile makes him very difficult to accommodate - unless you are ready to homeschool him you are going to have to concentrate on very small goals. The good news is that he does have interests. Fan the flames of whatever desires he has. Most kids have at least one strength among WM and Processing speed. Yours has bottlenecks in both - that's a lot for even the biggest intellect to lift.

You are going to have to be a pioneer and develop that 'Mommy-guidance-gut.'

Hugs!
