So, I have not read beyond the first page of answers in this thread. But, something to keep in mind is that the OP'S scores do show a discrepancy of more than two standard deviations ( one standard deviation is 15points), which either makes her gifted verbally or suggests the presence of a nonverbal leaning disability. Two standard deviations above average (100)=gifted. But a discrepancy that large does suggest a learning disability, which is not the same as a developmental disability. Learning disability diagnosis is based on discrepancies. Developmental disability diagnosis is based upon actual IQ scores.
