One other thought: When ds6 was younger (1-3), we didn't know/ realize ds was different. We thought all kids knew/ did the things he could do. It caused some major problems with my sister-in-law. Not only was it then obvious that our kids were on 2 different plains, but made it seem (to her) that we were bragging and/or showing off.
Also, when ds3 came along, my dh thought he was behind- always (slow to talk, just recently mastered letters and numbers). Yet, he is a very different child and is VERY interested in how things work. We'll have to wait to see with him.
