Some of what we've noticed in our DS8:
- delayed ability to open toothpaste to put some on his toothbrush
- delayed ability to climb and descend stairs on his own
- delayed ability to cut with scissors and glue neatly
- delayed drawing skills
- doesn't play legos or jigsaw puzzles
- hated tricycle
- very uncoordinated in sports
- VERY absent minded
I guess I've consoled myself that somethings will just come late to him. A few of the above improved after his 7th birthday. Many of the above were so strikingly obvious and different from peers that he's either been ridiculed or scolded by some &^%*&^* adult, and/ or I've spent a few nights crying myself to sleep.
