That was VERY helpful! Thank you! I am only begining to recognize the patterns my son is exhibiting. What I know is that he is happiest when productive and challenged. If he is under challenged, whether it is in school or even a sport, he will lose interest quickly and move onto something else. And when he finds that something else, he loses himself in it completely. I think he knows that he can think and speak quickly and efficiently so he becomes annoyed at the need to write it all down. Standardized scores show absolutely no deficit in processing, so I think I agree that NOW it will not be a big deal if he accelerates with the descrepancy. I guess I woudld prefer that struggle than the potential one of him losing interest in school.
