[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your child SN? This sounds a lot like my DS who is incredibly bright, but only motivated by subjects that interest him. To him, everything else is boring and not worth his time or effort. It's a real struggle. We are working to build flexibility and tolerance for non-preferred activities, but rigidity is a hallmark of autism. If you haven't already, you should consider having your child evaluated for a disability. Then you'll know if you're dealing with run-of-the-mill stubbornness or a disability.[/quote] Yes, he may be SN. But he is highly, highly sensitive to emotions and social dynamics. So I think it is more likely to be inattentive ADD than autism. But I have this tendency as well and I excelled, albeit in a small private school that is now beyond the pale expensive. I never received a diagnosis. [/quote]
