[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's good friend's child is very, very sweet but is a complete dumbo. Just turned five and cannot sustain a conversation, cannot always follow simple directions, cannot keep on topic or often stay focused. In other ways this child is talented and clever, but in terms of interacting, sometimes it's like nobody is home. I don't think there's any serious problem; I just think there's a lack in the smarts department. The mom is also a bit of a dumbo.

Yes, I am a bitch, but it drives me a little nuts because it's hard to have a sustained interaction. [/quote]

Um, this was my child and still to some degree is 5 years later. She has social anxiety and has trouble be quick thinking on her feet. She also had auditory processing issues which meant when people spoke to her it took her longer to understand and then formulate the answer.

Yes, I saw lots of parents and still do give my kid a side ways glance when she says something dumb. I cringe too. Sometimes, she says the exact opposite of what she means.

We did therapy and have done tons of work at home as well as medication. She is who she is. She isn't dumb but I acknowledged that to casual observers and random people she might appear that way.[/quote]

You could be me.  I have a kid like that.[/quote]
