Hello. I wanted to post an update since the school year has started. We already have a parent teacher conference scheduled for tomorrow. Things are not going well. DS is coming bored with simple letter and number work, having social processing problems, listening skills are becoming a problem, and his behavior is overwhelming the teacher. He has left the classroom many times to play in the bathroom, (background: He loves toilets, plumbing, pipes, duct work, fans, motors, etc.)
Is there such a thing as a processing disorder? How can you tell the difference between a disorder problem and a kid that's stuck in his head thinking of something else?
When he is home, he does have some difficulty paying attention but it's mostly because he is thinking of something else.
