[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to be "that mom" about this. I had tested extremely high IQ when I was young, multiple Ivy, multiple grad degrees. My DS was so delayed he was evaluated for early intervention and qualified for EVERYTHING. At age 4 it was clear he would not do well on entrance interviews where I lived so I moved to a good public school district and had an IEP from the beginning. By third grade he scored 99.9 percentage -- off the curve completely on all subtests of the WISC V. I'm not even sure how that happened.

I had not expected this at all - I even probably posted on DCUM when he was younger about all of this. He did have smart sense of humor at a young age. But, yeah, no signs of being advanced otherwise. AT ALL. Some of his therapists said they thought he was a "little observer."  [/quote]
I have a child who appeared autistic and did not talk or interact much until age 3.

He's now 6 and loves doing multiplication in his head. Totally normal socially, very verbal. [/quote]
