Oh, polarbear! I think we've got almost the same son. Maybe I need to shift my mental focus to Disorder of Written Expression. I just call the whole thing dysgraphia (in my head, and to other people), but it's not so much a motor issue for DS as the "thoughts on paper" problem.

An aside: why is it that most of the things my kids find difficult are the things that come to me as naturally as breathing, and vice-versa? Not all, but most.
