[quote=Anonymous]OP here:

Thanks for all the input. We didn’t actually get scores from the private testing (to the pp who asked how they were). Once it became clear what was happening, the psychologist stopped the testing and said it was invalid.

He was actually faking two different kinds of disabilities and I don’t know enough to know what they would be called. One was mixing up numbers. He told her “sometimes I mix up 3s and 6s” and then every time he had to do something involving a 3 he incorporated a 6 and versa. That was the one that she said must have been hard to pull off. So he would write 2+ 3 =8 for example. 18/3=3. He had two sets of numbers that he did this with.

The other one was giving inaccurate definitions of words that were the opposite of the actual definition. One for example was an island and he said land surrounded by more land.

It was the numbers one that she was very confused about because he pulled it off so perfectly and called to her very earnestly - like the  “sometimes I mix up..” line. It was so believable that even in the waiting room I started thinking to myself, how the hell did I miss this and felt like a horrible mom. They don’t have math homework, so I started doing down a rabbit hole in my head about how I really must have missed it because we don’t do any math enrichment with him and this poor kid how did nobody notice.. 🙄[/quote]
