[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"because I'm a guy" hasn't made it into the DSM yet, OP. being a forgetful slob with crappy handwriting could be chalked up to dysgraphia as well not just ADHD.[/quote] Why does everything have to be in the DSM for it to be recognized. On average boys develop fine motor skills and non verbal que reading skills later than girls. Why can't teacher just get it?[/quote] Later is one thing. OP's kid is 10--that's not just being on the later side. A child this age should be able to write legibly and keep track of homework. These are skills that some kids need help with even if the don't have a formal diagnosis.[/quote] And boys' schools expect ten yr olds boys to be able to keep track of homework and write legibly and sit still and pay attention in class... - signed mother of a boy with these same issues who has an IEP in public school whose brothers all attended all boys' schools.[/quote]
