Thanks, Platypus. What is your DC's LD? And how long did it take to have it diagnosed?
As for DS6, it's hard to tell whether it could be a LD or whether it's his extreme perfectionism kicking in - he's not instantly good at it and so he doesn't want to do it. But yes, I'm definitely keeping a close eye on it. Given his love for books and learning, it just doesn't compute. We're having him privately tested in May, so we should have more answers at that point.
Thanks! I love this forum. You can't explain to just anyone that you're concerned that your child is only reading slightly above level. I suspect most other DC being discussed in this forum are well beyond his level (he's probably only MG), but it's still much more comfortable to ask these questions here.
