[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 127566, member: 1991"] We HAVE been thinking Asperger's, haven't we? It fits. Sounds like my tribe. Watch for big gaps in sub-scores - the scores shouldn't be averaged out if there are big differences between verbal performance and non-verbal. Instead, use them to identify areas of concern. Too often a very bright but learning disabled child goes unidentified as such - "she's bright, just not as bright as you thought. She's doing very well for an IQ of 105." When the child's higher scores indicate a 'true' IQ more likely to be around 130. Such a child is more likely to be frustrated and bored. Pitch the mental stimulation at her level, let her learn stuff she's interested in, at the level she seems to cope with, and use the high achievement areas to help her with any problem areas. Our house is covered in posters, printouts etc (Periodic Table behind the toilet door, plus Escher prints) so it's a stimulating place to be. Lots of puzzles, lots of fun challenges. The younger two were using a computer from VERY young. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was 2 (would have been younger, but PCs were VERY new) and difficult child 3 was a baby. Marg [/QUOTE]
