Oh Edwin, do you have my kid's long lost twin? He's almost 6 and can't find another kid in his class to play Pokemon with so I'm stuck playing all the time! We also play Stratego, Risk and Battleship all the time. Recess is also his favorite subject, along with free-choice lego building time. He doesn't have a "thing" either, which actually had my DH in GT denial for a long, long time.
We're in the process of deciding if we want to re-test, apply via portfolio or scrap DYS all together. He misses the IQ cutoff by a few points and has so far, not been really attentive enough to do achievement testing.
