Exactly. It makes me much more skeptical of any claims made about what a kid with IQ of x should be like. The major thing my kids have in common is testing very well, but that doesn't tell me what they need in their educations. Similarly, in groups like DYS, there are kids doing a huge variety of educational options that work for them.
