[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP -

What I am about to say comes from OUR experience in a similar situation years ago when DS was in K at a traditional private.  While not the same DX, there was a similar progression of events like you described - teachers mentioning things...us making our own decision to do testing...and DS getting AT RISK diagnosis for certain things. FWIW - all of his AT RISKS turned into actual diagnosis within a year or two.

Because your DD is in a traditional private, progressive or not, if her behaviors become too disruptive she will be counseled out of the school....you sharing your report with them will probably just push that to happen faster.

I would spend my time mentally preparing for that to happen, and researching schools where she would be more successful. Her high IQ means nothing when the behaviors are disruptive.  A private would rather have a kid with average IQ and no social quirks and disruptive behaviors, than a high IQ kid with these challenges.

So yes, share the report.  It will only help. As hard as it might be, your DD will be better for it. [/quote]
