[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 557274, member: 7664"] You can also have him tested with a different IQ test (they have to wait something like 2 years between the same tests or it compromises the validity). Also, it is pretty well accepted that if you have a child on the autism spectrum, that full scale IQ scores are very misleading because of their splinter skills. I do not think the results of that test will harm your child- if you are informed about his skills and weaknesses, these scores can be an asset when looking for assistance for the skill deficits. Also, borderline IQ does not equate to MR, you have to have a score less than 70, have him score very low on a functional/daily living test, AND have very low scores on academic testing (all three would combine to give someone an educational label of Cognitive Disability/MR).
