Mine is exactly the same. Although older DS was never really a behavior problem per se, people often just didn't get him. It didn't really start until pre-k though. His intensity, his questioning just annoyed people who just wanted him to accept "you get what you get and you don't get upset." Younger DS, on the other hand, gets GLOWING reports. People love him. teachers call him a "joy" - they were all trying to get him their class. And he works that halo. He's easygoing and not as verbal. He had talents tho that seem like he'd get a very high PRI whereas older DS is extremely verbal and that can bother adults. I feel relieved and a bit sad about it all at the same time.
