That sounds wonderful jbug. I hope we aren't waiting too long for the tests and diagnosis. My son loves to impersonate and if you ever see a video by REM called Losing My Religion ... the way the singer dances in it.....my son does that to perfection.

He is taking drama courses now also. His challenges are total unorganization, tends to get his attention caught on one thing and one thing only and easily distracted from other responsibilities. He has to be told step by step everything that needs doing. If I just say help me clean up the kitchen.....it is too general a statement. I have to say "Wipe the dishes" or "Put the ingredients back in the cupboard." And for him to write his thoughts down on paper...impossible. It is all up in his head...but he can't put it on paper.

I have heard that they may have difficulty thinking in abstract terms....it sounds like the challenges I had with my ex husband. Now I can see the actions in my son that made me so upset with my ex. I am positive my ex has this condition. Oh Well...he never kept in touch with his kids when we separated and divorced. Totally blind to the responsibilities of a father. Now I feel I can understand why my husband was the way he was....but he is now living in Sweden and I am in Canada.

Anyway....I hope I can keep in touch with you. Thanks.
