I also have a huge verbal-performance discrepancy on WAIS III with Verbal IQ 135 and Performance IQ 73. In my case, the reason is cerebral palsy which I have as a result of complications of premature birth. I’ve always had difficulties in school especially with English and History as opposed to Science and Math but managed to compensate and get good grades. I managed to get into a very prestigious college and my SAT score was 1350 (680 V, 670 M).

However, I could hardly do college and barely graduated. It’s been two years that I am out of college but I still don’t have a job. I do atrocious on interviews, but the real reason is probably that the job is not right for me. Given my deficits, it is so hard to find a job which I can do well. I am really at a crossroads in my life and can’t find my place.
