It's kind of strange...DS5 hasn't quite realized he is different. I know he he gets it on some level but thankfully he doesn't at all think of it as a negative thing. He thinks, 'this is to easy for me so I should get something harder and if it's too easy for you then you should too'. I don't think he feels out of place or unusual about it at all. But he said that no one asked why he was doing anything different today. Once the questions start I am not sure he will advocate for himself as much....but I hope he still does.
