My son has had minor delays basically since birth but the most noticeable was definitely speech. We have been in speech since he was 2.5 and I really thought it was mostly his speech difficulties resulting in other concerns because he couldn’t verbalize what he knows. He tested poorly on all standardized tests but again felt that was mostly speech.

We officially took him in to neuropsych for testing and we’re just told he tested as an IQ of 63 and diagnosed with ADHD combined type. I am devastated. I feel that number is so,so low. Way lower than I was truly expecting to hear. I can’t imagine how life is going to look for him.
