Thanks. It may just be that I know where DD was at this age and he is nowhere near that. Interestingly, her verbal IQ did not test as high and she was not as strong a reader at this age. But...she has great fine motor skills.
I might mention that DS has a bit of trouble with a few fine-motor tasks. He is a messy eater and he also still sometimes struggles with buttons and zippers. He just learned to tie his shoes. He seems to drop things a lot. However, his large motor skills are very good and he is athletic. Other history is that he was diagnosed with hypotonia as a baby and had PT for about 9 months, after which he was discharged for making good progress. I have asked him if writing is hard or if it hurts his hand, though, and he says no and looks at me like I am nuts.
