How would you describe my kid with the following details?

[seabeyond]

5. 5, my sons kindergarten teacher had me come in for a sit and watch. and then gave me a book

on four different types of thinking. it was kick ass interesting.

if you read, i will put the effort in finding the title of the book.

i watch son. teacher had instructions 1., 2., 3., 4. across the board in reading fashion. left to right. son would start at three.

he is NOT a sequential thinker.

long division was a mess for him. it is this then this then this. he would loose his was and never be able to find his way back.

in math, he had to be told 3, 4, 5 different ways of seeing the problem before it would hit.

and.... he has a skyrocket iq

when he was about 4 and he was walking to me i held out hand, palm flat out to him and said STOP. and kept palm out. 8 steps to me before he processed the hand and word. to this day (he is 17) i will point at something in the sky and he will look everywhere. he does not look at my hand to see where i am pointing.

the brain is a wonderful thing that is totally unique and the best time for me in parenting was watching and learning the way kids brains worked.

i dont know why your son is like that.

but, .... fun.
