    Didn't Einstein have difficulty tying his shoelaces or something? I know your son, unfortunately, is worse than me because he has learning difficulties. Learning difficulties or learning disabilities? I never saw it before, but I would, nowadays, class myself as having certain problems learning - i.e. learning difficulties - but not learning disability (my intellect very much intact and working far better than many people's). I suppose I learn in a different way - rote memory - without necessarily a deeper understanding each time. It didn't matter my style of learning - in fact I was rewarded for it more - when I was at school. However, school and what school is now looking for has vastly changed since I was there a very long time ago. My Asperger's never got picked up in school (or college, or university). I went all through mainstream school, got bullied, was never good at P.E., though I enjoyed doing it, and into normal life without it being picked up. Only more recently was it even classified in the UK.

    I don't know about Einstein's shoelaces? but I do remember a quote that sticks in my mind.....I just looked it up


    “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid”
    -Einstein.
    :D

    I don't mind what he does, as long as he's happy. But I do feel he might excel at something :D maybe secondary school will bring it out?

    I was going to say something similar but far less eloquently :rotfl:
    I used to work with someone who people had as not the brightest but talk to him about a car and he could tell you the answer to any/most problems and fix it for you. :D
