[QUOTE="Shari, post: 364481, member: 1848"] I guess what I meant by expectations was are these things typical 8 year olds can do....and you guys have clearly answered that. Thanks. We adjust what we ask and expect of him...so much so that we are pretty sure we'd thoroughly screw up an NT child if we had one...we don't know what "normal" is anymore! It just seems that the issues are getting more pronounced, or, possibly, as he is getting older, they are just becoming more visible. Right now, just watching him on the playground with a bunch of other kids, you'd never suspect a thing is off with him other than he's a little odd. Then he'll get tired or frustrated, and then he just looks like a spoiled brat that's used to getting his way. To watch him right now, to think this kid is capable of blowing his top to the point that adults fear him seems ludicrous right now... To think he struggles with steering a horse that he's grown up on...to think it absolutely takes everything he's got to read a 3 letter word or wrote his name... He looks so "normal". He excels at some thought processes. And then...there's the rest of the story. Oh well. I'll bother the Occupational Therapist (OT) some more. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
