somewhereonearth - thank you! Makes me feel better that I'm not just imagining things! Not sure why I was expecting miracles. I had two amazing teachers 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th grade who saw me for who I was right from the start so I wrongly assumed DS's teacher would see HIM too. Most people usually pick up on how different he is very quick (his therapists realized he was probably gifted before I even gave it one thought). But he does have problems with paying attention because it's all moving too slow, he's now started complaining about Math being "always oh so easy!!!" so it's probably affecting his performance that he's being graded on.
