[QUOTE="Andy, post: 394660, member: 5096"] Thank you everyone! He does great in math (A's and B's) and had his neuropsychologist exam last winter. The executive dsyfunction was mentioned in the results of that exam. He is also doing well in all his classes and loves "home Easy Child" classes when they cook or sew and his "tech" class when they build so I don't think following directions is a problem as long as it continues in a straight line - it is switching gears and going a different direction that is confusing him - a transition so to speak. If you know what I mean! This may not be new. He did not play that game as a child but had no problem with Trouble which you always go the same direction. I loved Mousetrap as a kid and I think that is a good game to get for difficult child. He and his friends love to put things together so it may just be something he can get his buddies to play with him. I need to call psychiatrist in two weeks to report on the new medication changes and will report this also. I do think that this is a case of a lack of skill being well hidden by using other talents. If he never picked up that game in the waiting room, I would still not realize this is an issue. He needs to stop skipping the first step of everything - learn what the situation is, think about where you are and where you want to go and then decide how to proceed. He is proceeding without thinking and often ending in the wrong direction. [/QUOTE]
