Hi, I am glad you wrote back! Thanks!
I think it must be hard for you as you know you are better than the 'results' which were from so long ago, and imagine if they gave you someone elses results by mistake! You certainly don't sound retarded by the way you write your emails.
Also, I don't think your mum is helping at all. She sounds like she has serious 'issues' because anyone who is in a normal healthy place wouldn't be treating you the way she does!
Try getting your own doctor and asking them to make an appointment with a psychologist for you. They are the ones who do the IQ testing. I think if you can get your own doctor it would be good for privacy reasons, unless you can completely be sure that the doctor you have will not tell your mum (unless you want her to know of course).
You can try and find a psychologist who specialises in intellectual disabilities, as they will recognise if you have issues by talking with you as they have seen so many people before you. Also if you don't like them or don't think what they say is true, the get a second opinion, or a third!
Which city do you live in? If you let me know I will go for a search on the internet to find a psychologist to recommend to you, so it is easy for you, if you would like.
I am in New Zealand, so if you are somewhere really big like America, you better put which State you are in as well. Our country is very modern, but just a lot smaller.
Talk Soon!
