So many are once again trying to diagnose this woman's kid as though they are a psychiatrist with Asperger Disorder. The following website describes in detail what Asperger Disorder is and even has the DSM-IV's Criteria for Asperger Disorder. I suggest many here read it thoroughly. If you feel your child may have Asperger Disorder please take your child to a Psychiatrist and/or therapist.

i do diagnosis via internet, fortunately, you are in luck!
my diagnosis is obsessive defiance disorder - ODD my prescription is NO BOOKS allowed for any reason he is to be denied any reading whatsoever until he begs for forgiveness. if there are other children then they should get stories read to them all the time. that'll fix his wagon! disclaimer: if you take any of my non-medical non-qualified and totally free-to-the-public advice, well you got what you paid for and i don't wanna hear about it!! but i am sorry to hear of your struggles... |

I'm the mother of two girls (13 and 6) I say give him time. We as parents try to put our children on time tables and sometimes that does not work for them. Now I LOVE to read and I was in school when I was pregnant both times so I read aloud both times. Just keep reading to him and find things that he is interested in and let him read that. Even if it is a box of cereal. He'll come around.

I just wanted to throw this in... I have loss over 50% of my hearing since I was a child anyways I have to have closed caption on the tv cause I can't hear it and also if I turn it up to where i can it can be quite loud for others that have fine hearing...My son who is autistic learned to read and spell very well because of this closed caption before he entered kindergarden The teachers were amazed...

who are his heroes? maybe a book about them would help, or just put him a sport and back off, but still read to him for 20 min to fulfill his homework time

My 7 year old is brilliant. (Really). He can do complex addition and multiplication in his head and always get the correct answer. He knows all 50 states and their geographical regions, he knows where most major cities are located in the US. He plays Chess and Clue and games of reasoning and wins against adults! But we are struggling with his reading and writing. This child gives me hell everytime I sit down with him to read. He refuses to sound out words and always wants me to spell them out for him. He writes in the worst chickenscratch and just refuses to try. He knows how to read... but REFUSES TO READ. Is this laziness? How do I help him? I've had his eyes tested. I've taken him for A.D.D and A.D.H.D. testing... and the doctors tell me he is normal. He starts an afterschool reading tutoring program 2 days a week on Monday. I have tried to make it fun for him- we sing karaoke (but he will only sing songs he memorized the words to)... we write our own short stories together, but lately he won't participate. I've even tried playing board games like Scrabble Jr and Boggle with him... and to no avail. I personally read to my kids for a 1/2 hour before bed every night. I read on my own all the time... so it isn't like I'm NOT setting a good example for him. Any tips/pointers? I have a few. Sell all electronic games, turn off your computer, get rid of televisions, for a year, and see the difference. My kids grew up with no electricity, and love books, they could match their natural world, with the pictures and stories in the books. |

hi I'm new to chating on line, but believe me I was in a similar situation with my son at that age, he is 14 now, back then it was worrying especially 'cos my first child did not have a problem with reading, his teachers told me that it was very common and once a child actually 'gets it' then there is no stoping them. My worries were uncalled for and his teachers were absolutely right, he was in year tw
o but he started to get the hang of and enjoy reading. Try not to worry 'cos he sounds pretty bright and it will just be a matter of time.

I had the same issue with my daughter, and then I let her try a computer program call Jumstart Pre-School, they have through grade 12. It uses a games to teach's him to read without him knowing it. And being smart he will pick up on it quickly.
Hang in there he will |
