Default Thanks for the input

The neuropsych DID interview a friend and a colleague who attested to the decline in abilities. He also had copies of previous academic scores and old records like SAT. However, he works at an acute rehab facility and the message at the end was that any deficits were not significant compared to his patients. Clearly this is comparing apples and oranges as a neuropsych eval in my case is necessary for medical records for insurance to get benefits and to get accommodations in work ETC.

I failed the test of delayed figure recall, was 24th percentile in NAB shape memory delayed recall, 17th percentile in shape learning percent retention. My verbal comprehension composite was 99th but perceptual reasoning was 45th and working memory around that too. The test results starred that discrepancy was significant. Actually, it appears the executive function wasn't actually listed, only the WAIS logic and block design, which were 37th. Other things were average, some high average, but the tester told me that he expected from testimony and previous test scores that I would be in the superior range. After the test though he told me something was going on but he didn't know what it was, so he would ascribe to psychological. My speech therapist is very frustrated too because she thinks my reading problems are brain injury related. Sorry for the rant.
