You might want to keep an eye out for ADHD. Executive function issues show up in that way for smart kids, with significantly better tests scores than grades.


That must be a big load off for you - it is always nice to see external validation of what we know about our child. As he matures (and maybe with some guidance), he'll probably do a better job at the day-to-day.

Thanks. I hope then that the Christmas Rush (if your child is not yet finished) goes very well with minimum tension at home. And if that good wish is misplaced, here's to great results yet to come.
