[quote=Anonymous]Because parents want to have smart kids. Parents focus on what junior is good at. “He’s good at math! He’s gifted!” Then when he performs in the average to above average range they get junior tested. Testing comes back to show that he is strong in math. He has FRI (fluid reasoning) in the gifted range. But...his real IQ (FSIQ) is lower. Not that gifted. Above average. Parents pursue ADHD innatentive diagnosis. (Or whatever LD fits the profile. But ADHD is the easiest.) Presto! He’s 2e. Personally, I believe a 2e child should have a gifted FSIQ. Gifted kids do come with LDs. But they have to be gifted! And one sunscore doesn’t make junior gifted. Everyone has strengths. Either junior is average with a strength in fluid reasoning. Or he has an LD with a strength in verbal reasoning. He’s not gifted. Or 2e. But that’s my opinion. And the parents of juniors out there will argue tooth and nail against it. [/quote]
