[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, she's not on the spectrum. A psychotherapist friend calls her a late bloomer, which may be the case. She's a kid who reads a four-hundred page book in an hour, yet she forgets to study for an English test. I don't know what you call that. Immaturity? [/quote] NP. I truly believe your kid can improve her executive functioning skills. My DD was like this in middle school school and by the end of 8th grade, she was at a point where she could handle things in high school. Just needed me to teach her routines, reminders and offer rewards. Of course she was younger but everything she did earned her points and things she forgot took away points. She was in the negatives for a looooong time but then slowly started improving. She’s not perfect (neither am I) but I am so proud of how far she has come. She is at HYPSM. Thank you for reminding me of this success. I needed to see this today. [/quote]
