I don't think we received a GAI.

I read they don’t recommend using a GAI on the WISC-V

Sorry to hijack...but I hadn't heard this. Can you tell me
more? My DC had FSIQ of 133 but PSI was 90. We would often joke that he is s-l-o-w to do everything!!! (But it wasn't in a mean way...but then after we got the WISC results I felt guilty bc I was like "oh!!! So maybe this is a thing--and not just that he dawdles like a turtle?)

Why is PSI common in gifted kids?

My DS had a low PSI because he was double and TRIPLE checking his answers. He was quick to know the answer but not to give the answer for this reason. The psychologist gave a GAI to counterbalance the low PSI and explained that the GAI was more accurate than FSIQ for my son. I have no idea how this works with AAP review but I thought I would share my account.
