Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi everyone. My name is Becky and my son was diagnosed with AP today. We have been through many hours of testing and today I got the official diagnosis. He is 9 and we have always known he was special. At times we refer to him as our little Forest aka Forest Gump. He scored above average for an IQ, reading 2 grades above his current grade; however, his social skills are below the 1% mark for other kids his age. He can walk into a room and give you an honest opinion about what you are wearing, how big your house is, or anything without any thoughts to the fact it might hurt the other persons feelings. It certainly has made for some interesting conversations over the last 9 years. He is just my special little angel and I am just here to learn everything I can.
