My child cannot remember and follow multi-part instructions to save his life.
This is just a side note - but fwiw, remembering and not being able to follow multi-part instructions are possibly different skills/challenges. Forgetting to pick up your backpack from the car seat and then 10 seconds later being reminded by your mom and not knowing what she's talking about sounds like a typical 6 year old excited to be out the door and off to school and simply not *thinking* about the backpack. Not seeing a backpack next to your foot also sounds typical of a 6 year old who's thinking of something else like tying his shoe. Not being able to follow a multi-step direction when you're told, for example, to pick up a book and take it to your room, then come back downstairs (totally just an example) ... isn't necessarily typical at 6. I suspect this isn't really what was meant here... but I wanted to point that out simply because this *was* a challenge for one of my kiddos at that age (due to vision challenges) and it really wasn't typical.
