[quote=Anonymous]Thanks 13:31 - I really appreciate all the thought, detail, and information in your response.  Our son definitely had ADHD.  Really really really significant ADHD.  On meds we can get him to a place where he's able to control that, but we're barely there, and people do tend to focus on the ADHD.  He's able to write decently, and spell decently, for his grade, but he's also old for his grade (his birthday is a week before the cut off, and we held him back) so it's hard to say if he's writing as well as he's supposed to be.  He draws decently, at least similarly in terms of not great not horrid, compared to what my older child was doing at the same age.  It's just the unwillingness to actually begin writing.  He fights the process so much, and hates just getting started, and hates adding any more information or detail than he has to.  Once he does it, he's able to produce something in-line with his grade-level peers, so we've always looked at it as him just being really defiant about wanting to write, and being forced to write, but maybe there's something other than his natural defiant tendencies going on here.  Who konws.  He also suffers from being a second child to a first child with a really significant language based disorder.    As parents we try not to compare our kids, but sometimes you just do, and what he's doing is so much better than what his big brother was doing at the same age, that it's hard to see it as a "problem", but maybe we just haven't been paying enough attention...[/quote]
