[QUOTE="Malika, post: 592150, member: 11227"] That's interesting, MWM. Or not so much interesting for you, as debilitating. J too has phenomenonal memory of what he hears (rather than sees). The neuro-psychiatric. said that the brain compensates for areas that are under-performing by becoming very strong in others. She also said she would not give an overall IQ score because it was meaningless and that she was not interested in a mere number. It seems things have come on a lot since the days when a simple IQ figure would be assigned... this is a more a way of discussing strengths and weaknesses that is much more revealing, it seems to me. I'm so glad we got this testing done. Though sorry for J that it means all the work and difficulty ahead for him, of course, but at least now we have a reason and the way forward for help. Oh and as for why she talked of Canada - in fact, Canada is generally in the shadow of its big neighbour here as elsewhere... I assume she mentioned it because it is genuinely ahead in its work and implementation in the field of these disabilities. [/QUOTE]
