My son who learned to read on his own at 2 and was grade levels ahead academically in reading and math at age 7 and who is smarter than I am even though I made straight A's in school would have had problems with origami and arts and crafts because he was born with dyspraxia, a motor learning disability. He has always been very aware that people who don't know him might judge him or his intelligence by his motor skills. He understands that people often have difficulty believing that someone can be both gifted and have a learning disability. What is sad is that there are teachers in our schools who don't understand and don't care to learn more about kids like mine. This is one of many reasons I have to homeschool.
