They are more developed in the gross motor skills at that age and the girls are better at the fine motor skills. Don't stress out or attribute it all to TS--he may just be a very normal little boy in that fashion!!! <br /><br />My son hated writing anything--no patience for his hand to catch up. He's 18 now and in college and his handwriting is STILL awful. He used the computer for almost all of his school projects when he was little.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601521320499609181.post-67530426932032541112011-03-22T11:55:57.497-04:002011-03-22T11:55:57.497-04:00Sherrie, same thing with handwriting for my younge...Sherrie, same thing with handwriting for my youngest and his diagnosis of mild autism complicated by ADD combined type. We do handwriting daily, but I don't base it on how well he can write it, I want him to be able to read it. That's the only reason we do it. Everything else is done on the computer. The best thing you could do for him right now - and do this year round, even when not schooling, is teach him how to type. That will have him go far. The Dr that diagnosed us told us as long as he can type and sign his name - he'll be fine. Grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.<br />ShelleyShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418715240099912566noreply@blogger.com
