[quote=Anonymous]DD12 is always doing everything slow since young, eating/drinking very slow, at 5 couldn’t drink 4 oz of milk from cup without taking 5-10 minutes, she threw up once when asked to drink faster. 2nd grade teacher claimed DD had piles of classwork couldn’t finish. 3rd grade was virtual and DD always missed one certain class daily to use restroom (45min ), and everyday she submitted homework at a later time, and teacher realized DD actually finished her homework the next day. DD gets even more slower every year, as there’s more homework it was 2-3 hours then it added to 5-6 hours until she could finally go to bed near midnight, which included 45 min to an hour restroom time sometimes more than once a day, an hour shower, eating takes hours to forever. We tried executive function and time management course but it couldn’t improve at all. I’ve also tried to say nothing and let her figure out but it still didn’t work. I can’t leave her to be late for school but or appointments otherwise I’ll have to drive her ( it’s not walking distance). A family of 4 plan everything around DD’s slowness, and usually the rest of us have to get up 1.5-2 hours, finished everything in 10-20 minutes, then wait for DD to finished in another 1-1.5 hour before we can step out ( usually when we go travel). Sigh. Now DD’s like getting tired of I complain and remind her about time, so she would just sit there without moving to the next task. I think DD is not only slow but also could be purposely slow, since when I pull her to do next task she would just smile as if she didn’t care. When it’s time to leave for her scheduled volunteer work, she would even think about change clothes or other unnecessary things other people won’t do. I always arrive every appointment 10-20 min early, but it’s extremely stressful with DD daily. I just can’t think of anything to help her.[/quote]
