Have name changed for this - as don't want to out myself.
DS - 5 - has social communication difficulties and has been assessed for autism - though his difficulties were not considered severe enough at this time to diagnose - though they may revisit it as he gets older.
In the meantime -they decided to do a cognitive assessment on him - which shows that he has an IQ of 140.
I have no idea what the implications of this are. - I knew he was fairly bright - but had always considered that part of his autism - now it seems that the school are planning on treating him as very bright - with the social communication difficulties being part of that.
Anyone have any experience of any of this?

OK, have just been told DS has an IQ of 140. What does that mean?
