No. The tester wasn’t qualified.

He taught himself. He loves Math. He is almost 2 years above grade level already and he is only in 1st grade. He reads at a 4th grade reading level. All past national testing rate him at 98-99 percent. They tested him 2 weeks ago for giftedness at his school and is in the first grade. No one told the evaluator he was autistic and we were floored he scored an 82. Should I be concerned?
