Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Dyslexia, inconsistent performance, and chess

aeh is much more knowledgable than I am re the technical details, and I'm not a chess player (and neither is my ds), but fwiw, the need to repeat things in order to learn them much more than you'd anticipate based on intellectual ability is something that shows up in places other than handwriting for my dysgraphic ds, so if he happened to be a chess player I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had the same type of challenge. I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I think your ds has a dysgraphia diagnosis in addition to dyslexia?
