My 3 yr old was evaluated for Early Intervention preschool. He is extremely shy and doesn't participate in games with children his age unless he knows them well . He has 4-5 word sentences, has eye contact with everybody , can count to 10 in 2 languages, knows all shapes,almost all letters (Uppercase) , some colors,knows his name and age . However he is very shy and is not too social with people or other kids , smiles but doesn't talk to strangers . He plays nice with his siblings. He was evaluated and I saw in the report he has an IQ of only 82 ( Whesler -sp? )which means low average . How can that be? I think he is at least average if not above average his age for his academic skills. How much more do they want for a kid who just turned 3 ? I did not know that much when I was 5 or 6 and I have above average IQ. How can they do an IQ accurately for preschoolers ? Does he have autism?
