[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 400723, member: 7083"] One other thing, my daughter explained recently that a lot of her frustration came/comes from not understanding what's going on around her. Things we take for granted really make no sense to these kids. One example, I told my daughter we would "play it by ear". She had no idea what that meant. (And after explaining these and other expressions we use, they really do seem silly.) Another...she really likes NCIS and Bones, but I have to pause the show often to explain to her what's going on. She becomes totally lost. Often at the end, she'll say she didn't get it at all. There are a lot of things that are implied that she doesn't catch, a lot of expressions used that she doesn't understand, etc. I've learned from these things how I really have to break things down for her. These kids are very deceiving because they compensate so well, and are usually very intelligent, so it's easy to forget that they just don't take information in the way we do. [/QUOTE]
