[quote=Anonymous]It strikes me that she is still a little new to reading, having only just now finished 1st grade. What does her teacher say?

I would suggest looking at the different aspects of the IQ ratings. They will give you different levels on different things, so although overall IQ may be extremely high, there could be differences between things like processing speed, etc. Even if the lower aspect is not significantly low, if it is lower than the other aspects, that can make it hard because the kid gets the other parts but can't put it together (or remember enough to put it together, or whatever the gap is).

FWIW, I have an ASD kid who picked up reading easily - not at a super young age, but with relatively ease once he started concerted instruction in kindergarten. My other kid is NT as far as we know and is a bit behind on reading due to COVID disruptions, but he is struggling much more with interest and motivation, as well as making a number of the mistakes you're describing. His teachers are not concerned at this point, but I understand the circumstances might be different.[/quote]
