I have a question. As I have spoken to parents who seem to have similar issues as my mildly dyslexic son, I have heard quite a few say "we have just a little processing speed issue". What does that mean? How does that differ from dyslexia, add, etc?
I also read the article someone posted on how gifted/ld kids are being misdiagnosed as ADD. My son's school just asked if we tested for ADD because they see him daydreaming during reading/writing tasks. He only seems to have ADD at school and with reading and writing, nothing else. He is unorganized and has a hard time following multiple directions. It seems like such a puzzle to figure out what is going on and how to respond to the school.
Thanks for your input. This message board has helped me so much.
