[quote=Anonymous]My DS is super slow at everything and he always has been. I ask him to do something and he takes forever. Its so frustrating because I can't rely on him to help me with anything because I could have done it 10 times faster than him. His teachers remark about how slow he is in class and he gets A's and B's right now but he seems like he is falling behind all of the time because he is so slow at finishing his work and tests. I have had teacher conferences but they don't really know what to do other than to practice with him. He is average as far as intelligence but I know he would be way smarter if he would just pay attention and learn to do things more quickly. He is 9 years old and this has been going on since before elementary school but sometimes it just feels like it is only getting worse. I'm extremely busy all of the time and I love him so much but its irritating to say the least that he won't get things done. I have tried rewards and punishments but he just doesn't respond to anything. Cleaning, schoolwork, getting ready in the morning, even for things he is excited for like going to the playground or the amusement park....slow as a snail. I'm worried that as he gets older he will really fall far behind and when it comes time for him to get a job no one will hire him because he can't get work done on time.  Please, any help or suggestions would be awesome![/quote]
