I'm the PP who brought up the LD, and I only suggested it because I thought you meant that your child was actually below average in verbal and not high average. A 4-5 SD gap between areas of strength and areas of weakness would be concerning. The 2 or so SD gap that your child seems to have just means he's stronger in some areas than others. I wouldn't worry about it.

Not at all and I’m sorry you feel that way. I know these are good scores. Not denying it. Just don’t know where else to ask for advice! I’m sorry.

DC's scores are very similar to yours. I was getting worried about lower verbal scores although DC is an advanced reader and his DRA was one of the best in his class.
