DS9 is dysgraphic and when he was your DD's age and undiagnosed I could not understand why copying down one brief sentence in a thank you card was such a difficulty. Thank you cards took weeks post birthdays (we send e-cards, now that we know what's going on). He also resisted writing, quite vigorously, and would crumple up his work and tear up worksheets. Like Irena's DS, he knew he was different from the other children and asked for help 'to get his work finished on time' in class.
'Boring' has the same expansive definition in our house that other posters have mentioned and was a frequent explanation for disinterest in writing activities pre-diagnosis.
