@ perplexed "Does DS have any medical problems or past medical problems that may be a possible source of the slow processing speed?" (I need to learn how to do that box thing!)

Nothing that we know of, I will give a brief history of it all in case there is a connection that I am missing ... at birth he had shoulder dystocia that resulted in very low APGAR scores at birth but he fully recovered by the 5 minute APGAR interval. He had breathing issues (cold induced asthma that he has thankfully appeared to have grown out of). He had chronic ear infections and at age 5 he had his adenoids out and tubes put in and that seemed to solve the problem.
