Good for you, ksm. She wanted you there to be proud of her. School...just showing up and passing...is a herculaneun task for so many differently wired children. Im so glad you went.
You know, I have a non verbal learning disability and it is about as devestating as aspergers v(they are sort of opposites but both have bad socisl skills). Like your daughter, I test REALLY well on standardized tests with failing grades, I scored a 21 on my ACT. Back then, 20 was average. Although I was kicked out of Intro to algebra, my very last math class ever, I still scored a 14 in math. That is nothing to brag about, but I knew kids, more than three, who scored only a 3 in math. I scored 25 in both english and social studies, a class I flunked and had to take in summer school. I also, as you can tell, have an amazing long term memory. Short term not so much. Im wondering if your kiddo also has a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). These are very articulate kids who excel verbally, but fall back in performance. They sound much better than they can produce
I have a verbal iq in the superior range so I used to get easily hired. I have a performance level iq of 85 so I got easily fired. I could not perform up to how intellegent I sounded. Your daughter maybe?
Im glad she graduated and that she wanted you there and that you went. Kudos to all!!
