I wouldn't be able to pinpoint his characteristics into all of these but have noted most. I find it interesting that late bloomer is a characteristic of having a learning disability. He's in the 3rd percentile for height and weight and just found out through a bone age test that he's a late bloomer by almost 3 years! He's in the 50th percentile of 6 year olds and his bone age is 6.
