[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 557282, member: 1550"] I have no idea what DBD-not otherwise specified is, but I do know that if he IS on the spectrum, the other poster is right. Their IQ scores don't usually show their ability. My son has scored 75 and 110 on IQ scores. Like most spectrum kids, my son has strengths and weaknesses academically, behaviorally, and socially. My son's two main diagnoses are Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Cognitive Disorder not otherwise specified. He DOES have some cognitive difficulties...but that does not mean he is MR. Actually, a child does have to score lower than 70 to be seen as MR. "Cognitive disability" does not necessarily mean MR. Example: Alzheimers is seen as a cognitive disability. I have that diagnosis as well and I have a non-verbal learning disorder (verbal IQ of 120, performance IQ of 85, neither in the MR range). It has many meanings. I think they do better testing privately. My son got his 110 score from a neuropsychologist. The neuropsychologist was really tuned into him. The school? Not so much. I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your son is progressing and has the right supports in place I wouldn't really focus on his IQ. Only time will tell if he can live independently or if he'll need a little bit of community support, which isn't the worst thing in the world. Take it easy and keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
