[QUOTE="nvts, post: 402533, member: 3814"] Just a thought: have you had a neuropsychologist done on him? I'm just curious that's all. The way he reacts to things makes me wonder about Aspergers Syndrome or NonVerbal Learning Disorder. He sounds so much like difficult child 2 it's amazing. difficult child 2 is a great kid, usually does his homework, but when it comes to prepping for a long report (we just suffered through his Science Fair Project - ugh!). I wonder if you gave the teacher a call and explained that he's been working on it consistantly for the 3 weeks but you can't seem to get him to practice. You could ask her to let you know how he did (a quick call for her to make). It could be that too much practice may make him more anxious...he may already know what he's going to say. Ask her for real critical feedback so that you know how far to push the next time they have this type of assignment. As an aside, difficult child 2 gave me a rough time about practicing his presentation. His teacher was blown away at how much he knew (even stuff that he'd glanced at but didn't incorporate into the project). He did really well. Hope this helps! And good luck to him on his presentation on Monday! Beth [/QUOTE]
