sallymom-- I will tell you that DS scored much lower on two IQ tests for digit span backward (50th percentile).

I have noticed that if he's not carefully reading/listening, he can completely miss the point on some school work that should be easy. We did a section on math inequalities today- easy peasy, but DS did not attend to the directions and visuals and did very poorly on the quiz. When we review it this afternoon, I expect, true to form, that he will get 100%. There is definitely something where he just misses the boat on some simple tasks.
