Sometimes I feel really confused about all of this. I am supposed to make him do things that are supposed to be fun for kids but he tells me that everyone else's idea of fun is not his and he doesn't want anything else added to his schedule. He wants to have time to have fun his way.
I think part of accepting that our kids are following a 'different developmental path' is accepting that what is fun for an ND kid may not be fun for our kids, but it still may be worth pursuing. After all, what's fun for our kids (Math, Science, Vocab, etc.) might not be fun for an ND kid, but still might be worth pursuing. After all - my kid was making jokes with the punch line "infinity" at age 4, and having a great time. Not sure many ND kids of any age can say that.
