[QUOTE="Malika, post: 429318, member: 11227"] That's interesting Marguerite. Do you have a professional background in this area or is it knowledge you have acquired along the journey, as it were? Language acquisition seems a very much more complex area than we are accustomed to thinking and personally I know little of the mechanics of it. With your difficult child 3 (I'd like to think of him by his name but I understand why you don't put it :-) ), is/was his preference for the written word related to autism, do you think? Where did he go to school - did you always home school him? J hasn't started learning to read yet. They don't do this in France until the next school year and I'm very happy not to push it... all things in their time. I think they are teaching them individual letters at school, which they learn the shape of without concentrating on the name or sound at the moment. I sense that he learns best with his body - by moving and touching, for example. It's interesting... your son was too concrete, my son is not concrete enough! You can have the most wonderful, fantastical, imaginary and rather surreal conversations with him any day of the week - but talking about what he did at school that day or anything mundane like that? Forget it. I do keep reading that ADHD kids are creative in their thinking... certainly he fits that bill. [/QUOTE]
