[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is a young adult now. Processing speed <5th percentile. IQ >97th percentile. It’s really tough for him. It’s like it takes him awhile to understand what’s going on around him. But once he’s got it, you wouldn’t notice. Honestly though it can be painful to watch him try to enter conversations and start school assignments and projects. [/quote] We have this too. What it looks like for us is a kid who does quite well in school, albeit less well than would be expected given the exceptional intelligence, but who “hates school” and for whom everything takes much longer than it should, so homework can be brutal. Bottom line, there are challenges, and will occasionally be tears and frustration and anger due to workload, but it’s a playable hand and if the child finds things they are actually interested in, they can do quite well in our experience.[/quote]
