Overall, he is pretty strong physically. I compare him to his older sister, who was floppy and had to go to physical therapy. So maybe he isn't as strong as I think. He does monkey bars and runs around all the time. He did have a hard time learning to ride a bike. He just got that down recently, and he still has difficulty getting started on the bike.
I don't notice other fine motor problems other than the writing. But he was never interested in coloring or painting. He does like Play Doh.
It's hard to know if this is a developmental issue that he will outgrow. After all, he is only 7 and I don't think that 7 year olds were expected to write much when I was that age.
But there does seem to be something going on with him. When I pressed the issue with the neuro psych, she was firm and told me that she sees a lot of kids, been doing this a long time, and that my son is a typical gifted kid.
On the other hand, taking my son to the neuro psych, the OT, etc, have made him feel like he is broken. He asked me on the way to OT, "Aren't I ok the way I am?" Heartbreaking.
