I still sew, but I am the only one I know who does.
My DS10 has constantly baffled me because he says stuff like that… he does well in school, but isn't interested in academics really.
However, he can talk about biology and zoology almost like an adult would. So he will be talking about something animal related in a very sophisticated way, but then is afraid to put cream cheese on his bagel because it "won't be right".
My son also has an unholy mix of TS, OCD, anxiety and inattentiveness (not sure if it's actually ADHD). Hang in there.
In my DD's class they just read Stewart Little, and I found myself having to explain so much of the language to the kids because the world has just changed so much since it was written in the 1940s...
