[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 520663, member: 3493"] Thank you, both. easy child was diagnosed in k because mother in law recognized the signs from h - who was not diagnosed until law school and then it was by a psychologist he was dating at the time. I should have asked for an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation but i didn't think of it. I am going to ask for one. He doesn't seem to have auditory issues and he had 3 years of speech once we caught on. He has managed to do as well as he has because he is an auditory learner. H listens on a 5 second plus delay so i see how Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) issues work and bb, thankfully, doesn't seem to have those. He is capable of listening to complicated science programs, his favorite shows, and doesn't ever miss a beat. My easy child is also a very strong auditory learner which is how he has managed to overcome many of his issues. The math thing is really odd. Oldest boy and I are mental math people. We solve algebra problems by looking at them and surmising the answer and then working backwards. My friend, who is a psychiatrist, once had me do algebra in front of her and was shocked that i could get the right answer without working the problem. She is a math person and could never just figure out the answer, she always had to do the work. on the other hand, I couldn't figure out how to do the work. I finally taught myself so I could help easy child. BB wants to do mental math but his processing speed is so slow and he seems to have an easier time doing complicated math than simple problems. He constantly asks me simple math questions. One thing I am going to do is review the times table completely because he knows it but doesn't process it quickly enough in his head. difficult child, who is now taking AP Calculus BC, is like my friend, he has to do the work. I think that's the difference between math gifted and me. I always tested in the 99 percentile but did poorly in school because I could easily do the multiple choice on standardized testing but could not solve a problem without the clues in the choices, which I would work backwards. I now have to figure out exactly what bb's learning style is. Susie. we've also run the gamut with the docs. In first grade, the school insisted difficult child go on ritalin. The psychiatrist agreed and then the school psychiatric changed her mind. She wrote in her report that she had never met a more deliberate, less impulsive child than difficult child. The doctor argued with me about stopping the medications so we stopped him. In second grade, the school psychiatrist said difficult child was at risk for antisocial personality disorder.
