    So your son is autistic then? This is one of the main traits along with the poor fine motor skills. Because you haven't mentioned he is autistic, do you have a diagnosis? Are you even aware that it is most likely this?

    If you aren't already on the National Autistic Society forums, may I suggest you join them? There is a wealth of help available.

    No he is not autistic although he does have certain autistic tendancies.

    His difficulties are complex and overlap several conditions. A leading geneticist casually termed it 'Olympic Syndrome'. Just as the Olympic circles overlap, so does son's issues. (We do nothing by half in our family ;):))

    Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate you taking the time.
