Common reaction(s) - both relief and re-evaluation. Welcome home.

Would you say something about the test used (scoring 'instrument')?

Like the test's official name at least, and who/what publishes it?? And

" going off the rails " means what, ...exactly? TIA.

Not sure of the name of the test. It should be in the report when I get it. It was a series of tests. The first was a test on the CPU to determine ADD. For the visual test it was a box that would flash on the screen and you had to press a buzzer depending upon if it was configured a certain way. The audio test was tones for one tone you hit the buzzer, the other you didn't. After twelve minutes on the audio I lost all sense of proper response or response time, ala, going of the rails. Of course the visual test I never even got on the track.

 There was a test that was all about determining patterns. I only scored in the top 98.6%percentile, which I was disappointed but not surprised, the last one made no sense, no matter how long I studied it. The doctor seemed very impressed with that score, however.  I also scored highly on a linguistic reasoning test.

Then there was a test that he said determined my development in many areas, and that I was way into the spectrum on social and emotional development.As soon as I get the report I will share what technical details that I can.
