[quote=Anonymous]OP - I have not read through all the posts, but the description of your DS on your original post sounds *exactly* like my DS when he was in 2nd grade.  When I went to DS's open house for parents, and watched him, his butt never met the chair. It was either his feet, legs, knees whatever.  I asked his teacher about it. She said, "he's a boy.. it's normal."  He also talked too much and kept getting written up for it.

His reading and math was two grades above; his writing was not. It was terrible. He hates writing. He doesn't have ADHD.  He is now in a gifted program and still hates writing by hand.  Thankfully, most of their writing is now on a computer, which he likes to do, and he gets top marks on his writing now.  His hand writing is like chicken scratch, much like his father.  I used to have epic fights with my DS on any writing HW.  I regret that now.

Let me guess, your DS can't concentrate, except for things that are really interesting to him.  That is normal, too.  Don't adults have this issue, too?  I find it hard to concentrate for any length of time on things that I find boring.  No, I don't have ADHD.
