I think this problem is very related to dyspraxia because he very acutely feels his inadequacies, you know? It's hard for a 10 year old boy to have this issue of motor coordination. I can see through his eyes and it looks like this stuff (ball sports, hockey, etc.) just comes so easily to most of these boys around here. I mean, no, most are not gifted/talented athletically (but we have a few - there is a kid on DS's hockey team who is just pure talent - I mean, he really has a gift) but they all pick up this stuff pretty easily compared to DS and DS is almost always on the lower end of skill. But he LOOKS completely normal. I think it is hard for him to cope. He looks normal, is super intelligent, but can't figure out where he is suppose to position himself in a face-off after TWO years of playing? That's gotta be rough. It's almost like his self-esteem just needs protection.
