DS7 is an extremely literal and concrete thinker. He gets frustrated and annoyed when anyone asks him to make inferences or abstract interpretations (His GIEP says that he is "not inclined to make meaningful inferences").
I wonder how this should shape our choice of learning environment and materials for him.
For example, while is is extremely bright in math (160 on WIAT), I wonder if programs like the Art of Problem Solving would not be a good fit because of his rigidness.
While his reading is assessed at the 5th grade level, I wonder if literalness will make it difficult for him to thrive if he were accelerated more in this area.
I'd love to hear stories of your literal kids and their 'learning trajectory'
