BTW, since you mentioned memory, Polly, DS6 does have a marvelous memory, both long-term and working memory. I agree completely that that is separate from whatever is wrong here. In fact, I'm positive that one of the reasons he has such a good memory is because he uses it as a coping mechanism.
Oh, and I have a terrible memory for names and titles. Just awful. I don't know if it's the same thing (I tend to doubt it), but I have tip of the tongue syndrome like mad. I don't think that's quite as common for 6yos, however.
