New Is your GF child
Autistic?

I ask because he sounds just like one of the kids on my baseball team (9-10 y/o). Wants to do it his way, gets upset when shown the "correct" way. Just walks off the field if he decides that he doesn't want to play, or it's too hot, or ...

Difficult
When they took the Fourth Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the First Amendment, and I can't say anything about it.

New NAFAIK
Hasn't been officially diagnosed as autistic. He interacts with people normally (at least, what I would call normally.) She's mentioned that he might be slightly dyslexic. Talked to a 1st/2nd-grade teacher friend of mine, and she seems to think (from an in-depth car-ride discussion with me and my gf, but never having met him) that the "standard" way of teaching that his school is using might not be the way that his brain wants to learn.

But, yes. "Difficult" is a very accurate description.

I recently put together a new computer for her/them, and also got 'em a Pre-school/1st grade learning game. She says he's doing very well with that. I hope it continues, and he's able to retain and transfer that to his own writing.
