That being said, Amber, I don't know if you have the same issues:
1. Handwriting--he hates it and wants no part of it, so how can he possibly skip even if a skip is in his best interest
2. Social skills--sometimes lacking in social boundaries, spacial awareness etc.
Sorry, Amber, didn't mean to hijack your thread, but I have the same question!
Has he had an evaluation with a psych who is familiar with giftedness and 2-E issues? Intellectually advanced but with lousy handwriting, poor spatial awareness, and sometimes lacking social boundaries sounds a lot like my son at that age. You might want to rule out NVLD issues and maybe investigate the possibility an OT evaluation for fine and gross motor, proprioception, and visual processing.
