Dyslexia and High IQ kid

Good to know. Thank you. I will look into that for my youngest son, 12.

Were it that easy, we all would have figured out our 2E kids years ago. I understand mommy guilt. My middle son, 19, was like an onion as I peeled off the layers to get to the core of who he is, and cried a lot during the process.

Diagnosed with unilateral hearing loss at age 9
Diagnosed with depression, math disability, writing disability and slow processing speed at age 10 1/2
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at almost 11
Diagnosed with severe convergence insufficiency at 11 1/2; began therapy
Diagnosed with OCD and anxieties at 12 1/2
Diagnosed with a worsening hearing loss at 15 and had a tube put in and a hearing aid fitting at 16.
Diagnosed with no improvement on vision disability after 4 years of therapy at 16 1/2, and had eye surgery.
Diagnosed with dehydration tendencies at 16 1/2 after going to urgent care 3 times in a year for dehydration (we got this one figured out, and it hasn’t been a problem for several years-yeah!)

Wanna exchange mommy guilt stories? :stuck_out_tongue:

Retesting at 18 confirmed the math disability, the writing disability, and the very slow processing speed. Eyes could use surgery again, but he’s adapting well enough and he doesn’t wear his hearing aid. Teens are awesome! :slight_smile:
