My DD6 doesn't mind doing the writing she just makes inconsistent errors. Actually, she draws "graphic novels" all the time. She will do a few pages of a story told through pictures, sometimes a few speech bubbles, bind it up with glue/tape/staples and lately she's even been doing a little "about the author" section on the back.
sound so lovely!
Your daughter could have ADD and no other symptoms. Girls who are basically compliant tend to get overlooked. In a way, ADD and CAPD would be the exact same thing - She doesn't hear/process some random 15% of the information that other kids are catching. My overall guess is that she is just very young, and equally gifted in less of a 'party trick' way than your son. Or she may be still plenty gifted, and a lower LOG than your son. (Even amoung YSP kids there is a huge variety of LOG.) Working memory is something that can improve with practice. If it says low, she can use technology to work around it.
In fact, low-average working memory alone would account for all the inconsistiencies you are observing. The physical act of writing AND the rules of grammer AND figuring out what you want to say AND remembering spelling is a lot for anyone to do at one time. Interesting that her achievement scores in writing are so impressive.
The good news is that you are aware and alert early, and can be ready for any opportunities that fall in your lap. The bad news is that you get to worry a lot more over things that would have worked themselves out over time anyway.
Love and More Love,
