DS 7 is a bit of a conundrum abut the tension between strengths and weaknesses. He tends to over-negative the weaknesses - I'm so bad at that, I'll never get better - but can both shrug about his strengths and get arrogant about them. He has fine motor issues and its been a struggle for his and he gets so frustrated - but it's the only thing teaching him that you have to work at things and you can see the improvement from that work. But he hates that he's not better at it.
It's interesting that the question from synaptic was do you want to work on strengths or weaknesses. DS would just expire if it was all about his weaknesses - and could never choose to focus on them. And I'm not sure we would encourage it.
