[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 554996, member: 1233"] thank you is a total delight for me. He still has sensory issues, but he has such a sweet nature. He works hard at school and is interested in the harder classes like robotics, engineering, getting into the algebra class early (the top students can take it in 8th grade instead of 9th). We don't have to nag about schoolwork much and he cheerfully does the extra work to bring up grades if he gets a bad grade. Two weeks ago he brought his weekly math sheet to me to be signed and learned that until I have done the problems and know that his answers are correct, I won't sign. husband just signs them with-o checking his work. He got a higher grade on that one so he now brings all his math work to me so that I can work the problems and help him understand any errors and fix them. Shockingly, he did not get upset or argue when I said I was going to make some worksheets for him so that he can practice with converting mixed fractions to improper ones. That is where he was making most of his mistakes in math. He actually reminded me today about it! I have been taking him when I do the shopping rather than Jess or both of them and we are having the best time. His nintendo ds lite broke two weeks ago and he was shocked when I went and bought a brand new ds i for him and said it was NOT a birthday gift. We can afford it this month and it is one of his coping tools. When he gets overwhelmed he plays for five or ten minutes and then can cope again. that and all his hard work on both of our moves (he was AMAZING and only complained when Jess would start griping about everything he did, even how he breathed at one point!) earned it as a reward. He is amazingly hard working and almost never gripes unless Jess is sticking him with all of a chore that they are supposed to do together. [/QUOTE]
