He mostly hates going to preschool, but there are a few things he likes doing there. He hates the repetitive work that the teacher suggests, but is compliant at school (Then poorly behaved at home. There's a big difference between when he does something at school he wanted to do and something that he didn't want to do.).

He does OK when I let him play computer games like Reading Eggs, but he gets frustrated when he doesn't do perfectly (perfectionism).

He's not terribly interested in learning to read or anything else. Rarely wants me to read him a book, even if it's something that interests him. Often resists any of the cute learning activities I see on Pinterest, especially if it's obvious that I'm trying to make him learn something (e.g. There's an idea of parking Hot Wheels cars in parking spaces with sight words. If I set this up for him, DS would give me a look like, "That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen."

The scores indicate that he's visual-spatial, and he has said that he sees movies in his head. It's hard for me to wrap my head around, since I'm a verbal thinker. I've been trying to spark his interest in a variety of things, especially things that are "supposed" to be interesting to v-s learners, but so far, nothing's really stuck. He's not that interested in building things; I tried taking apart an old toaster and it was sorta interesting, but he wanted me to do all the work. I've also tried some physical activities like soccer and karate, but those have just been blah.
