Thank you Polarbear for your anecdotal feedback. What have you done to help your son achieve despite his hardships? Are there writing workshops he could take? Or therapists to help him in writing? DS can formulate great ideas but I think his writing can't keep up with his thinking ability. This in turn causes him great frustration. He can write great essays and creative works, as well as writing suppository text. It is just that he detests doing it. How can I tell if it is laziness, opposition, or an actual learning disability? His teachers seem to think it is because he isn't trying hard enough or that he is lazy and rushing through his work. I feel like writing is his weakest subject but still average compared to his peers. But this relative weakness is causing him angst as everything else usually comes easily to him.
