[quote=Anonymous]This is OP ...

A lot of the behavior stuff comes from sensory seeking and being extremely strong willed and independent.  I wouldn't be shocked if he meets the criteria for ADHD-hyperactive and ODD.  He's never vindictive or actually even aggressive unless someone starts it first and he wants to please but at the same time absolutely can't stand being told what to do and seems pathologically incapable of backing down.  So his behavior really is the more complicated and important piece.

But at the same time, we didn't get a diagnosis of older DS dyslexia until 2nd grade and by that time he was already entrenched in how he was stupid and couldn't read, etc etc.  This just came up again when I filled out another question are for him to start with a new tutor and realized younger DS met almost all of the pre-reader signs of dyslexia.  What he's decoding are the consonant parts of CVC words.  It IS within the range for K but at the same time, I don't want to be in the same boat in 2nd grade wishing I'd pursued this sooner.
