My son is v clever. He’s ckwarly superbright with some bizarre mathematical gift.
I think he has Aspergers and this is undiagnosed currently as his speech and language has completely normalised and he now mainly has social difficulties. So they’re still waiting
Anyway my sis is a clinical psychologist and has told me I should get his IQ tested so I know what I’m dealing with
I don’t want to, because it’s not fair on my other child who is bright and mathsy but not to the same extent. There would be inevitable comparisons.
Also I think it’s irrelevant ... i was very advanced with literacy and levelled out by secondary school. I’d rather just not make s big deal out of him and his square numbers etc etc
Just wondering seeing if anybody else has tested IQ or what true benefit there would be?
