Thank you 1000knives---

I think I recall reading a book called "The Disconnected Kid" that addresses this issue. It was written by the person that started the Brain Balance centers. He claims that autism is caused by the right and left brain not connecting properly. I need to get back into that book.

That is interesting because my son is 7, and his reading skills have really taken off, and his spelling and vocabulary are also above average. But when it comes to math, he is able to learn it, but it is not coming very naturally, and he shows some apprehension about it, which is hard to understand because my husband has a degree in math and I have a degree in accounting.

Thank you for reminding me about this, because I think we could do some more work in this area.

Good luck to you!

I forgot to mention that I have been taking him to a play center that has the inflatable jumpy things, and he is getting so much better at climbing those. When I look back on how far he has come since he was diagnosed, it is amazing, actually.
