[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 609734, member: 14829"] He sounds very similar to my first grader (adopted at 5 yrs). Mine has a lot going on in addition to what you are seeing, but we are pretty sure a lot of it could be explained by prenatal exposure. The only thing that I see that sounds different is that these "weird" things are out of character for your son...it's not unusual at all for mine to threaten to "break mommy's arm," so it's not a surprise. For him to be showing strange things all of the sudden is interesting. First grade has really complicated things for my kiddo, because first grade work is so much more complicated than kindergarten. Kindergarten is so concrete and relies a lot on memorization but first grade incorporates a lot of comprehension. Another MAJOR factor for us is The Boy's poor [U]auditory processing[/U]. Typically, poor auditory processing isn't diagnosed until around 7...up until then, it might just be something "off" you can't quite put your finger on yet. It can look like low cognitive skills, ADHD, autism, etc--if you aren't "getting the whole message," you tend to tune out, be fidgety, have poor auditory memory, miss social cues, etc. [/QUOTE]
