[QUOTE="Malika, post: 592167, member: 11227"] Thanks for sharing your experience :) As in all things to do with the brain, we are in the area of the complex, not the simple... In fact, if I reflect about it a little, I see that - unlike you - J's problems with space seem to be on the level of the abstract rather than the concrete. In other words, he is not particularly clumsy, doesn't have a particular tendency to drop things or bump into people, and has an excellent sense of direction and memory of place, as long as you do not ask him to codify it into left or right... but if he has to copy a geometric pattern that is in front of him, it will take him ages and parts of it will be wrong and/or very slipshod. That is both concrete and abstract? This is a very unknown area to me and I confess I do not understand it at all well. I know that he has, and has always had, absolutely no notion of time, far or near, and cannot tell the time on a watch or clock. I've given up trying to teach him. How all this impacts on school needs the experts to tell me... [/QUOTE]
