[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 394637, member: 1233"] When was the last time difficult child was tested for learning disabilities? in my opinion this could be a sign of any of several LDs - executive dysfunction disorder, nonverbal learning disorder, dyscalculia, etc...It is very much NOT normal for a 14yo to have trouble playing this simple game. If it was something he was able to play years ago, it may be a sign of some sort of degeneration or the increase in his disability to perform whatever processes are needed. I have what is charitably called "mixed dominance", meaning I am not strictly right or left handed, it depends more on the task (oddly, most sporting type things like golf and bowling are best left handed for me). To this day I have difficulty with right and left - in driver's ed I had to look at the arrows that came on when I moved the arm for the turn signal. I don't do north, south east or west. I simply am unable to figure it out, but I have ALWAYS been unable to. Your son's problems might be along the lines of that - but if the problems are new it could be a sign of some very bad changes. on the other hand, he may have been hiding this problem for a long time. I have a cousin who hid the fact that he couldn't read for four years. I have known MANY people who hid dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc... for a long time - many only learned it was something that could be helped when they got to college. Regardless, this is something that needs to be checked out. [/QUOTE]
