[QUOTE="Malika, post: 592098, member: 11227"] The thing is, buddy, I really have so little true knowledge about this (ie absolutely no wider context to put this newly gleaned information in) that really I'm not formulating any very serious comments. I just don't know, is the truth... it just seemed to me odd according to that I've read about ADHD, but actually really fits in with what I see of J day to day which is an incredibly bright kid on the practical level - not intellectually gifted - with a phenomenal memory and grasp of practical details of life, things that have just happened, that happened long ago, etc. He is seriously more organised than I am - and I defy anyone to say that is not difficult :) Anyway, knowing about this visual-spatial dyspraxia is quite exciting because it TOTALLY explains everything to me about his reading and why it's been such a struggle and gives clues to ways to help him. Eg, different coloured lines or syllables, hiding other lines of texts, etc. It is also is a start of explaining things to teachers and finding ways to help him. Gives me more confidence in the future. J is clearly bright, nothing exceptional but able to learn and do well in school if only he can be accommodated. This feels major to me. [/QUOTE]
