Thanks for sharing and the input.

Strangely, reading is the only thing my son does quickly, especially on material that is at or below his reading level. His reading comprehension level is 3-4 years above grade level.

His slow response generally shows up when he has to verbalize or write down an answer. I really think he is thinking through all the possibilities before commiting to an answer.

He also reacts slowly to verbal directions by his parents (brush your teeth, get your pajamas on, etc.) but I am chalking that up to our poor parenting skills (we tell him more than once so he gets by with it). LOL
