I know that the discrepancy was part of the reason my diagnosis (I was over 140 in all but one category which was really, really low), but it was also based on other things (like scoring 100% on all questions I answered, but not finishing the section in the allotted time) and trouble with spatial perception. I can't imagine a competent psychologist doing all of that testing, finding a learning disability, and not informing the client of that finding. Can you call the psychologist and ask if he gave you a diagnosis?

I doubt there is anything to diagnose as discrepancy alone isn't enough for diagnosis and scores of 114, 111 and 107 aren't indicative of disability.
But I agree it is weird no one explained anything to her
