Thanks, aeh. I've read some of PolarBear's posts about expressive language and wondered if that was an issue. He often asks me to explain 'what that means' after reciting bits from fiction books or shows. I'm generally surprised when it happens, because it usually isn't something I'd expect him not to understand. He is prone to wanting his interpretation validated, so it may be he understands but wants to be sure he's right. Or maybe he really doesn't get it. I've been weighing a new assessment. If I go that route, are there specific tests for expressive/receptive language I should ensure are administered? Or can I just have a test or tests done for that issue outside of a general assessment.
Once upon a time I worried about stealth dyslexia, but it didn't really seem to fit. With this new articulation from him about what goes on when he reads, is it something I should again consider?
