[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]

I think you are a troll.  But in case you are not, you are horrible.  This kid sounds like my son at 5.  He just developed at a different pace than other children, particularly socially.  But he scored off the hook on the Cognat, went on to AAP, and is a social butterfly as the teacher calls him.  The only trouble we have with him is that he talks too much in class.  He began to become social and following social cues in second grade.   You can't judge a child at age 5, often the development in boys is slow and their milestones are reached later.  But they get there.[/quote]
