[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My DS also needs lots of one on one instruction to get work done. But he says it's because he finds the work boring. He is in a mainstream classroom and eventually and GRUDGINGLY gets most work completed. He got his end of the year report card and got the top grade for all subjects except lang arts, for which he got a "B." If something interests DS, he can concentrate easily for long periods of time. His creative writing stories are very vivid and imaginative. The teacher pulled a couple of his stories as evidence that he should be in the GT program. But teachers dislike having to deal with his issues. He argues with them incessantly over things he wants to do. He'll get hungry 20 min before snack time and argue to no end to get his snack earlier than the other kids. His hands will be cold at recess and he will argue to no end to go back into the school to get his gloves. He drives teachers nuts. Teachers hate it when he wanders around the room also. He definitely perseverates over his electronic stuff...thinks about it for hours and hours a day. He will design new features around these objects such as a phone with a built in high powered projector to replace his school's smart boards or a  foldable, flexible laptop that doesn't break when it gets wet or is dropped. He researches different kinds of materials that can be used for these on google. We later learned that these are already being researched by different companies but DS had no way of knowing that. Is this giftedness? And what about the wandering and needing lots of redirection and prompting to get work done in class and also his perseverative interest, is that Aspergers??[/quote]
